There is no way to do this when you have enabled very magic
mode by using \v
. This specifically asks Vim to treat =
as a special character. In other modes besides very magic
it is treated as a literal and not a special character.
Question
In Vim, equals (=
) is the same as question mark (?
) in a regex, as in:
a?
is same as a=
is same as a 0 or 1 times
.
When you search with /v
on you have to escape =
. I don't want to have to escape =
, because that's not a standard regex character. Can I make Vim treat =
as literal in regex search mode?
Solution
OTHER TIPS
The very point of \v is to make everything "very magic", so why not just use \m?
