Were you thinking of something like (define-key isearch-mode-map "\M-s" 'isearch-toggle-scrolling), analogous to isearch-toggle-case-fold? Having used this hack for several weeks, I would now find it infuriating to have to type M-s for each new search started. I'd want to be able to customize it such that scrolling would be allowed by default. In that case, it might be better for the customization switch to specify the default setting for "isearch-scrolling-allowed" rather than an absolute enablement. -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) acm@muc.de
