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. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
