Really? That's what this all is about - `M-%' from Isearch?
I just searched this 3-month-long thread for `M-%' and found
_one_ occurrence of `M-%', and that occurrence had nothing to
do with being invoked during Isearch.
And I searched the entire thread separately for "isearch",
and found _no_ occurrences of that. Sure, it's still
possible that I missed some indirect mention of the problem
of invoking `M-%' from Isearch.
But it's truly hard to imagine that the discussion has been
focused for 3 months on finding a solution to the
`M-%'-in-isearch-default-pairs problem.
Why would a discussion of this wander all over the map for
3 months, and never once mention `M-%' during Isearch, if
that is in fact the only real use case that is problematic?
Why wait until I ask about `C-x ESC ESC' to focus on the
problem? (I mentioned `C-x ESC ESC' the first day of this
thread, BTW, but no one responded.)
This is much ado about nothing, AFAICT. Misplaced zeal,
perhaps.
If you want to find a way to pick up previous `M-%' pairs
for `M-%' when it is invoked from Isearch, then just do that.
Find a reasonable solution for Isearch, if it is an
Isearch-specific problem (as it seems to be).
If `C-x ESC ESC' is otherwise adequate (with `M-p' & `M-r')
for retrieving query-replace pairs, then maybe just use
`command-history', filtered for query-replace commands, to
supplement `M-%' during Isearch.
