This doesn't have to be a special dired thing. Surely it should be a
major mode dependent hook:
(defvar isearch-in-valid-region-p nil
"If non-nil, a function which returns non-nil if the current isearch
match is acceptable. It is given two parameters, the beginning and end
of the match.")
There are already several toggle keys in isearch-mode: M-r (toggle
regexp), M-c (toggle case sensitivity), ..... So, how about C-M-z
(toggle validation funtion)?
It's not that brilliant - in fact, it's pretty bad, but it doesn't
shadow a useful function in the Emacs core (is C-M-z bound anywhere at
all?) and it's no worse than C-M-w. ;-(
Come on, Richard, tell us what your best effort at thinking up a key
binding was. ;-)
