Subject: Keyboard macro and regexp syntax search
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:44:10 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8e0f9a74-6582-441f-b16a-0ae62af0e142@s12g2000prg.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Here's a key sequence which searches a whitespace character with a non-
whitespace character after it and moves right to terminate the search
there (just an example):

M-C-s	\s-\S- <right>


According to the macro editor it is recorded like this:

;; Keyboard Macro Editor.  Press C-c C-c to finish; press C-x k RET to
cancel.
;; Original keys: M-C-s \ s \ S <right>

Command: last-kbd-macro
Key: none

Macro:

M-C-s			;; isearch-forward-regexp
\			;; self-insert-command
s			;; self-insert-command
\			;; self-insert-command
S			;; self-insert-command
<right>			;; forward-char-nomark



The dash (-) character is missing after the syntax matcher (\s and
\S), so the macro doesn't work at playback. Is it a bug?
