Subject: bug#12078: 24.1; Improve the I-search prompt
Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2012 19:56:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAH8Pv0iYtVu7pxC-=5m-ZH=ojoPWrfUrTQNF-yLM37vd_i+TVg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
As discussed in bug #9918
(http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9918#50), I propose to
change the format of the I-search prompt, so that instead of (e.g.):
Failing I-search: foobar
Overwrapped I-search: foobar
Failing overwrapped I-search: foobar
Failing I-search: foobar [initial node]
would be
I-search: foobar [failing]
I-search: foobar [overwrapped]
I-search: foobar [failing, overwrapped]
I-search: foobar [failing, initial node]
That is: present all the I-search "flags" at the right side of the
search string, using that common pattern.
Advantages:
* This would add consistency to the Isearch visual feedback.
* The search string would be shown in a fixed position in the message
(now the search string jumps right and left when the I-search flags
are added/removed in the prompt text. This makes difficult to
concentrate on the search string).
TIA.
