Hi,
I just noticed an inconvenience with regexp searching and the ß char.
Try this: C-M-s (isearch-forward-regexp) with [[:lower:][:digit]]
now:
This is a sentence. All lower chars (like abc or ß !) and
digits like 123 should be matched.
Well, ß is not matched.
I found some info regarding that problem, e.g.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-11/msg00460.html
Yes, ß is problematic (no uppercase version, should be replaced with
SS, but not all SS are ß etc. etc.), but I have to guess german emacs
users must have figured out what to do about this already.
So, what do you do?
Do you use the uppercase ß char in your standard-case-table?
Do you suffer from performance issues doing so?
tia,
Memnon

I simply do not try to upcase words with ß. When I really have to I know that left from it is already at least one capital and right from it is another or white space or punctuation. Easy to handle, ißn't it?

This does not only affect upcase-x.
The question that triggered this was about subword-forward.
