In Vim, you can clear the last search highlighting by using the :nohlsearch command. This command turns off the highlighting of the last search pattern. Here are the steps:

  1. Press the colon (:) key to enter command mode.
  2. Type nohlsearch and press Enter.

Alternatively, you can use the shortcut command :noh to clear the search highlighting. Here are the steps:

  1. Press the colon (:) key to enter command mode.
  2. Type noh and press Enter.

Both commands will clear the search highlighting and remove any highlighting of the last search pattern.
