I would like the same outcome as the original poster: I would like for tags-query-replace to always return to the position of the point when the command was invoked, except that I want it to happen programmatically. Here are two approaches I tried, neither of which works. In each case, if I run the commands manually, it does what I want, but if I put the commands into the function, it doesn't work.
(defun my-tags-query-replace ()
(interactive)
(point-to-register "a")
(command-execute 'tags-query-replace)
(jump-to-register "a"))
(defun my-tags-query-replace ()
(interactive)
(bc-set)
(command-execute 'tags-query-replace)
(bc-goto-current)
(setq *bc-bookmarks* (cdr *bc-bookmarks*)))
Any ideas how to do this correctly?
Thanks you,
Ambrose
