Subject: bug#27341: eww-search-words should prompt if region inactive
Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2017 13:21:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8760g1xxhw.fsf@utexas.edu> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 205 bytes --]
eww-search-words (M-S M-w) searches for the active region and doesn't do anything useful if the region isn't active. This patch has it prompt the user for a search string if the region isn't active.
