I tried this and it doesn't quite work. The magic control chars in incremental search mode (which is the point of this, isn't it, to get your favorite search when you type ctrl-S) are defined to be *char*. Thus, when I type ctrl-S, ctrl-S it doesn't re-search. If anyone knows of a way to fix the incremental search guys to take sequences or something instead of "just chars", please let me know. (also, I discovered, not even 'meta' works: I tried making the research char be meta-S just to see what happens. Well, the obvious (after you think about it for a while): I have no way to type "meta-S". I have a *command* that'll make-believe it is meta-S (escape followed by S), but that is NOT the same thing as a real meta-S, and so doesn't work. /Bernie Bernie Cosell Internet: cosell@bbn.com Bolt, Beranek & Newman, Inc USENET: bbnccv!bpc Cambridge, MA 02238 Telco: (617) 497-3503

This is a portion of my .emacs file: (global-set-key "\C-^" 'isearch-forward) (global-set-key "\C-\\" 'quoted-insert) (global-set-key "\C-x\C-\\" 'toggle-read-only) (global-set-key "\C-x\C-^" 'save-buffer) (setq search-quote-char 28) (setq search-repeat-char 30) (global-unset-key "\C-q") (global-unset-key "\C-s") This sets search to be C-^ (C-` or C-6 on many terminals). It also moves the quote character to C-\. (I also move C-X C-S and C-X C-Q.) The next lines modify the smae characters inside the search. The last lines unset C-S and C-Q so that when the terminal send them, they are ignored. (Well, almost. Emacs still seems to see them and screen refreshes are buggy.) -Israel -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: {amdcad,decwrl,hplabs,oliveb,pur-ee,qantel}!intelca!mipos3!pinkas ARPA: pinkas%mipos3.intel.com@relay.cs.net CSNET: pinkas%mipos3.intel.com

The whole point of the I-can't-live-without-search-on-^S crowd is that they WANT SEARCH ON ^S... now, someone suggested that one might be able to have his cake and eat it, too, by letting the ^S/^Q stuff stay hidden in the terminal control protocol and 'fixing' your terminal to send something else when you hold-down-the-CTRL-key-and-hit-S. I was only pointing out that as far as I've been able to puzzle out, even THAT doesn't work, because you still can't get the "research-forward" control to use your new sequence. /Bernie
