Subject: Search occurrences of character at point
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2017 13:31:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <86wp6ja7ru.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I sometimes have to edit some text where I want to find all occurences
of some non-standard character, such as Char: ­ (173, #o255, #xad, ...)

I'd like a way to have the cursor sit on such a character and hit a key
to position it at the next occurrence of said character.

I'm sure there's a way to do this?

Any ideas, anyone?

TIA,

Guido
