I tried this naive approach: (when (memq last-command '(isearch-forward isearch-backward)) isearch-string) to no avail, since it turned out that last-command was (in my case) isearch-printing-char. Is there a way for an Emacs command to "know" that isearch was active when it was invoked? (I could use an approach similar to the above, but with a longer list of commands, including most/all things from isearch-mode-map, but this seems fragile and far from elegant.) A similar thing to what I want happens with M-% and C-M-% during isearch, but AFAICT these are just bound to special "wrapper" commands in isearch-mode-map, and I don't want to have to bind my command to any key (I use it seldom enough that I just use M-x).
