For example I did c-s and typed 'def'. I know stand with the cursor on 'DefinedFunction13'. This is the string I want to search for. Is it possible to expand the searchstring to this word, without typing it in? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Type C-s C-w, and Emacs will automatically search for word at point. You don't even need to type 'def'. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

That works. I'll like Emacs more and more. :-} I only started using Emacs a short while ago. I wanted to do it earlier, but 'everyone' told me it was to difficult and I should stick with vim. I should not have listened. Yesterday I saw something about Gnus. I'll need to look into that also. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
