I am trying enhance my grep wrapper with the common logic that propose a default argument like, preferrably using (thing-at-point 'symbol) Grep for string (some-default-string): and that uses this some-default-string I have only press return. I thought the following should work but it doesn't (read-from-minibuffer "Grep for string: " nil nil nil nil "default" nil) Do I need an alternative to read-from-minibuffer() or have I missed something=3D Many thanks in advance, Per Nordl=F6w
