+## Tips
+
+#### Saner behavior of n and N
+
+The direction of `n` and `N` depends on whether `/` or `?` was used for
+searching forward or backward respectively. This is pretty confusing to me.
+
+If you want `n` to always search forward and `N` backward, use this:
+```viml
+nnoremap <expr> n  'Nn'[v:searchforward].'zvzz'
+nnoremap <expr> N  'nN'[v:searchforward].'zvzz'
+```
