I have set hlsearch as well as nmap <silent> <C-N> :silent noh<CR> in my vimrc. This way, I always get highlighted search and pressing CTRL-n simply removes the highlights (of the last search). It is actually handy to disable highlights manually once you don't need them anymore.

:nno <BS> :set hls!\|set hls?<CR> -- one line, one keypress, state feedback, and doesn't try to second-guess when you may or may not want highlighting. Sometimes I want highlighting left on the screen when editing. Sometimes I don't, e.g. using / as a motion with an operator.

@Antony As in, if I'm making edits, or in insert mode, it will turn off without me needing to press any buttons. If I start searching with / or ?, or if I press n or N, it will turn on without me needing to press any more buttons.
