Subject: bug#54086: Occur should offer more interactive input options
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2022 10:36:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <OAYaCVHoyaN0nLXgdG00QDzBqZ4lTK7bLRSBsP_qsBcQ883kNVN1kxHGS5yjKD5Arp-ZSx0TT7DcUftFfwRDc5E59U8R3mSa5BZwOx26dzA=@protonmail.com> (raw)

In my experience it is often that I search for something under the cursor, so it
makes sense for occur to pick up the word at point and offer that for search.

Also, if a region is selected occur could offer this as input.

I did these for myself long ago and it's a pretty useful hack which could improve
built in occur too.

So something like this for initial input :

(if (use-region-p)
(buffer-substring (region-beginning) (region-end))
(thing-at-point 'symbol))))))
