In-Reply-To: <4386466E.4090407@student.lu.se> (message from Lennart Borgman on Fri, 25 Nov 2005 00:02:06 +0100)
Some months ago we discussed help for isearch-forward/backward. I tried
several alternatives at that time, but did not send in any patch. The
attached patch is a simple way to give help. It simply defines C-h and
f1 to call isearch-mode-help
I don't want to make such a change now, and perhaps not ever. Too
many control characters are special already in isearch. (I turned off
one of them a couple of months ago.)
I also found some small errors which I tried to correct. This was
something with the isearch-ring but I can not remember the details right
now. I included that also in the patch however.
Can you please separate those bug fixes out
and explain the bugs they fix?
I renamed search-ring-update to isearch-ring-update which seems more
consistent. Maybe that should not be done if that breaks something?
I don't want to change these names now.
BTW I think there may be some useful key definitions missing in the
help. Could you for example not switch the direction with C-r? Should
not that be added to the help?
Could you be more specific about the change you mean?
