Yes, a permanent option is not suitable, because whether to use it depends on the concrete situation. Leaving the highlighting after the search you suggested is the same thing. I want to mention also that I use C-RET to leave point at the beginning of the found string instead of the end. There are possible other useful things to do. So the question is what is a good user interface for performing different actions on exit? Maybe to use a prefix argument, e.g.: `M-1 RET' - don't remove highlighting `M-2 RET' - don't push the search string into the search ring `M-3 RET' - leave point at the beginning of the found string And how to combine them? Maybe as digits of the decimal number: `M-123 RET' -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
