Would it be possible to include Vimpulse as part of Viper at some later date?
Maybe.
Second, as I've mentioned on the EmacsWiki page, hlsearch would be nice to have. One possible way to add it is described at http://r4yner.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/hlsearch-for-emacs/. Perhaps, even if it shouldn't be added as a part of Vimpulse, it could be added to the Tips&Tricks page?
Do you use release 0.4 or the latest Git commit? The latter integrates with Emacs' isearch to provide something "in between" -- temporary highlighing of all visible matches. For example, n and N will highlight not only the match under the cursor, but also nearby matches, for a duration of 2 seconds (governed by the `vimpulse-flash-delay' variable). As for implementing user-toggled "permanent" highlighting, it depends on whether isearch can be persuaded to fontify the whole buffer in one go. By default, it only acts on what's visible in the window; continually refreshing the display as the user moves around could work, but would probably be sluggish. Of course, we can fall back on hi-lock mode if isearch won't cooperate, but I'd rather only have one type of hightlighting. -- Vegard
