Yes, unfortunately, there is a full mismatch between cursor motion commands and isearch yanking commands. I had an idea of using a key to activate special isearch mode that will use cursor motion commands to select the text in the buffer and to add it to the search string. > I'd like to suggest the following re-bindings based on Emacs bindings > for either marking or killing or moving types. > > 1.) > | Key | marking | killing | moving | type | > |------------+---------+---------+--------+-----------------------| > | C-M-y | - | C-d | C-f | char | > | C-w | M-@ | M-d | M-f | word | > | C-y | - | C-k | C-e | line | > |------------+---------+---------+--------+-----------------------| > | suggestion | C-M-@ | C-M-d | C-M-f | sexp (sorely missing) | > > I also like to plead for the inclusion of a sexp type in the > isearch-.* commands. With a new key these key sequences could be M-s C-f - yank char to the search string M-s M-f - yank word to the search string M-s C-e - yank line to the search string M-s C-M-f - yank sexp to the search string > 2.)
