How to turn off Auto highlight text in Vim editor?
In VIM text editor, everytime whenever I type ''typedef '', it gets highlighted automatically. How to fix this?
I want to turn off word highlighting property in vim.
Solution
Looks like you have the "highlight search" flag on and the last search was for typedef. You can turn the flag off with :set nohls.
You can inspect all settings with :set all.
You can read the help for highlight search with :help hls.
