remapping C-s

remapping C-s

[Rafal Kurcz]

Hello
I'm used to C-f key combination when searching for a string.
Emacs has a default C-s key combination for that.

I put the following into my ~/.emacs file:
(global-set-key "\C-f" 'isearch-forward)

In general it works fine.
Unfortunately it does not work when I press C-f twice to search the
previous pattern again.

How should I configure emacs to do that ?

thank You for help

(define-key isearch-mode-map "\C-f" 'isearch-repeat-forward)

Have a look in library isearch.el for related information.

(keyboard-translate ?\C-f ?\C-s)

This will make C-f send C-s instead. Everywhere, always.
Cheers
