Subject: query replace -- error with prompt instead of insert
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:00:29 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20110913T185546-557@post.gmane.org> (raw)
Is there a way to make query-replace flash and
error instead of inserting a "y"or "n" when
I answer prompts beyond the buffer?
So if there are two instances of 'foo' and
I replace 'foo' with 'bar' but hit
'y' 10 times, I don't want to insert 8 'y'
characters, but flash and error instead.
(A similar thing for c-x e for executing
macros would be great too).
Tx
