Message-ID: <lbr64l$1ruo$1@adenine.netfront.net> (raw)
I want to bind a variation of isearch to the C-c R key, based on
comments in the Emacs Wiki page on isearch. Here are the suggestions
from the wiki for leaving point at the beginning of the match.
(add-hook 'isearch-mode-end-hook 'my-goto-match-beginning)
(defun my-goto-match-beginning ()
(when (and isearch-forward isearch-other-end)
(goto-char isearch-other-end)))
(defadvice isearch-exit (after my-goto-match-beginning activate)
"Go to beginning of match."
(when (and isearch-forward isearch-other-end)
(goto-char isearch-other-end)))
With this hook, both ‘C-g’ and ‘RET’ exit the search at the begining of
the search string.
...
Another way to get the functionality of jumping to the beginning of the
search-term is simply adding a little wrapper function and binding it to
a different key. I find C-v a good candidate, you don’t usually want to
jump to next page when searching:
(define-key isearch-mode-map (kbd "C-v")
'my-isearch-forward-to-beginning)
(defun my-isearch-forward-to-beginning ()
"Do a forward search and jump to the beginning of the search-term."
(interactive)
(isearch-repeat 'forward)
(goto-char isearch-other-end))
----------------
What I want to do is to invoke normal isearch and isearch-regexp
functions (forward functions at least), and have the mark reset to the
beginning of the matched text. So I tried this:
(define-key search-map (kbd "C-c R") 'my-set-mark-point-around-isearch)
(defun my-set-mark-point-around-isearch ()
"Do a forward search and set mark to the beginning of the
search-term."
(interactive)
(isearch-forward)
(push-mark isearch-other-end))
No luck. Can anyone advise me of the way to achieve this?
Thanks.
