Subject: bug#14427: 24.3.50; Highlight symbol at point
Date: Tue, 21 May 2013 22:07:49 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r4h0jgmy.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87ip2d9qp6.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (Juri Linkov's message of "Tue, 21 May 2013 02:28:21 +0300")
The intention was to accompany the proposed `highlight-symbol-at-point'
with its isearch correlate. This feature was requested long ago in
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SearchAtPoint
and after recent improvements it is straightforward to implement now.
For keybindings it makes sense to take the command `find-tag'
as a model with its keybinding `M-.' since `find-tag' searches
for a tag in source code and `isearch-forward-symbol-at-point' and
`highlight-symbol-at-point' should do the same only in the current buffer:
M-. - find-tag
M-s . - isearch-forward-symbol-at-point
M-s h . - highlight-symbol-at-point

PS: One problem was that `find-tag-default' returns only a tag as a string,
not its exact location, but it's necessary to move point to the beginning
of the symbol. To solve this problem, another patch splits `find-tag-default'
with part of code moved to `find-tag-default-bounds' that returns
the beginning anf end of the found tag:
