Subject: Calling C-r with Prefix Argument
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2020 20:31:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <trinity-b6ff2865-e958-4327-8007-aad4ea426998-1602700268753@3c-app-mailcom-bs02> (raw)


   Have been reading the output of describe-key for C-r (isearch-backward)
   that does an incremental search backward.
   It states that with a prefix argument, it does a regular expression
   search instead.

   Tried to see the documentation for Prefix Argument but has not helped
   me for the command C-r.

   How does a Prefix Argument work with C-r and what happens?

   Regards
   C*
