I need to futz with it some more, hopefully tomorrow.
But, one issue that I'm having is that using C-w to yank word at point doesn't cross punctuation, so I can't use c-w to grab the word at point into the search buffer (which would be quick & easy.
IE zipc^odes_hold
Pt here
C-w pulls zipcodes, not zipcodes_hold
If there's a way I can define words to only be bounded by
whitespace I should be able to whip up a keyboard macro for
the rest I believe.
You can approach it from the other side. In that buffer, try:
M-: (modify-syntax-entry ?_ "w") RET
This changes the syntax entry for the underscore character to
"word constituent". To examine syntax (and other) info on any
character, move point to it and type ‘C-u C-x =’. That might be
a good idea if you want to change things back, later. :-D
