The super star (*) key in Vim will search for the word under the cursor and jump forward to the next match. The user can jump to the next matches with the n key. If hlsearch is enabled, it will also highlight the matches.
I want to be able to press * and get the highlighted matches and be able to navigate the matches using the n key. However, I do not want Vim to jump to the next match when * is pressed, it should remain on the current word. Is there a way to do this?

I would map:
nnoremap * *`` Works exactly like you want, except that it adds a jump in the jump list. To prevent that you need:
nnoremap * :keepjumps normal! mi*`i<CR> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
