I have the following idea: bind `isearch-yank-line' to `M-s C-e' because
`move-end-of-line' is on `C-e'. It is also possible to allow a sequence
of `M-s C-e C-e C-e ...' without the need to repeat `M-s' before each `C-e'.
This can be extended to other motion commands, e.g. `M-s C-f C-f C-f ...'
to call a sequence of `isearch-yank-char', `M-s M-f M-f M-f ...' to
call a sequence of `isearch-yank-word', and any combinations of them
`M-s C-f M-f C-f ...', etc.
