C-l exits incremental searching

C-l exits incremental searching

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

the title says it all.  Is it a feature or a bug?  Or maybe it could be
overriden in the config somehow?  (Use case: I'm using isearch to
navigate/skim through the buffer, and what I find is in the last line -
but I'd prefer to see some context, so I hit C-l. But now isearch is
gone, and I have to press C-u C-s again (since it was a regex search).
If C-l didn't quit isearch, I could just hit another C-s, which would
be a lot easier.

Best,

It it's reproducible it's more likely a bug…

No bug, but a configurable option:

,----[ (info "(emacs)Not Exiting Isearch") ]
| Scrolling Commands
|      Normally, scrolling commands exit incremental search.  If you
|      change the variable ‘isearch-allow-scroll’ to a non-‘nil’ value,
|      that enables the use of the scroll-bar, as well as keyboard
|      scrolling commands like ‘C-v’, ‘M-v’, and ‘C-l’ (*note
|      Scrolling::).
`----

Bye,
