The Incremental Search node of the Emacs manual says: The character `M-y' copies text from the kill ring into the search string. It uses the same text that `C-y' as a command would yank. `Mouse-2' in the echo area does the same. *Note Yanking::. >>"How does query-replace across line borders work?" > > > Hmm, yeah, the manual explains that one must use C-q C-j to match > newlines, but not in a very straightforward way. Or did you have > something different in mind? I would suggest using query-replace-regexp instead of query-replace, so that typing SPC while entering the regexp matches newlines as well via search-whitespace-regexp (assuming the buffer has a sane syntax table). >>or on a similiar topic "How to prefix every line with text a" > > > This one is covered already: > > (info "(efaq)Inserting > at the beginning of each line") > > Though it could be made more general. -- Kevin Rodgers
