Subject: bug#5118: DocView: copy/search text
Date: Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:03:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87hbs7bvbw.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (raw)
Package: emacs,doc-view
Severity: wishlist
Please add two features that would be easy to implement:
1. Copying the text of the current page to the kill ring.
PDF viewers allow selecting a rectangular area to copy it to the
clipboard. If this is not possible in DocView, then at least copying
the text of the whole page would be a satisfactory compensation.
Info and Dired bind similar commands to `w'.
2. Search currently is useless in DocView since it doesn't highlight
the current match.
What would be more useful is to implement Occur-like UI. For instance,
typing `doc-view-occur' would display an *Occur* buffer like:
Page 1: text text match text text
Page 1: text text text match text
Page 1: text text text text match
Page 2: text match text text text
Page 42: match text text text text
that allows to navigate to the corresponding page.
