Sometimes I write notes to myself like "/why are you working at this hour, go to sleep already"

Knowing the people I work with, a comment like that might actually exist in the code..Typically I use /^$^I believe the proper way to do it is :noh

i used do similar; but not the notes; just random banging followed by an enter/escape.<pre><code> /daljfdlkja <enter><escape> </code></pre> now i don't use highlighting by defaultfrom: <a href="http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_all_search_pattern_matches" rel="nofollow">http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_all_search_pattern_match...</a><pre><code> " Press Space to turn off highlighting and clear any message already displayed. :nnoremap <silent> <Space> :nohlsearch<Bar>:echo<CR></code></pre>
