While editing a file in Vim, I tried to do a global search and replace, but I accidentally hit enter after typing this:
:g/$/x
Now Vim is in a funny state where an empty blue box appears at the end of each line, not only in the file I was editing, but in EVERY file I open! I’ve logged out and back in, but the strange state persists. What happened, and how can I get Vim back to normal?
It’s only highlighting. Type
:nohland it should vanish.
