Subject: bug#73723: 31.0.50; Add copy/kill/mark commands to isearch
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2024 18:31:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DS7PR10MB52328ED87B179836E7658FD2F3782@DS7PR10MB5232.namprd10.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Sorry, I misspoke.  I was thinking that my `M-w'
copies the current search _match_, but it copies
the search string (input pattern), `isearch-string'.

The argument that it's better to use `M-w' during
search for that because you can use it multiple
times still holds, but only because you can change
the search pattern (during search) - not _also_
because the same pattern can match different text.

It probably makes sense to also have a command
that copies the current search match.  And maybe
that's the best candidate for `M-w' (not a command
that copies `isearch-string').
