I reworked my function a little and the interface is slightly different.
You press `C-s' to enter isearch mode and then `C-a' to select the
entire word at point, much like `C-w' would select the word from point
on. `Word' is in this case defined as a sequence of word and symbol
constituents.
Here is the code:
(defun isearch-yank-word-at-point ()
"Pull word at point into the search string."
(interactive)
;; Only yank if point is on a word constituent or
;; symbol constituent per the syntax table.
(when (or (= (char-syntax (or (char-after) 0)) ?w)
(= (char-syntax (or (char-after) 0)) ?_))
;; If part of the string has been yanked to the search string
;; already, unwind the isearch state stack to the beginning to
;; start over.
(while (not (string= isearch-string ""))
(isearch-pop-state))
;; Go to beginning of word at point
(skip-syntax-backward "w_")
;; and yank entire word into search string.
(isearch-yank-internal
(lambda ()
(skip-syntax-forward "w_")
(point)))))
I bind the command as follows:
(define-key isearch-mode-map (kbd "C-a") 'isearch-yank-word-at-point)
Feedback welcome. I would be happy to add this to isearch.el if people
find it useful.
Christoph
