I agree. >> 3. active region - (and transient-mark-mode mark-active >> (buffer-substring-no-properties >> (region-beginning) (region-end))) > > You could have done M-w before the current operation.

Doing M-w/C-y is simpler only for strings that don't contain special regexp characters. But in regexps they need to be quoted. `M-n M-n ...' could provide a default value with quoted special regexp characters. >> 4. last isearch regexp - (car regexp-search-ring) > > This one makes sense. Maybe we could simply use the same ring for occur as > for regexp-search so that it is available as M-p. There is also another command that reads a regexp and that could share the same regexp ring - `query-replace'. It has a special variable `query-replace-from-history-variable' that defines the history list to use. So `occur' and `isearch' could have similar variables to allow occur/multi-occur/keep-lines/flush-lines/how-many and isearch-regexp to use the same ring with either: (setq regexp-history-variable 'regexp-history) (setq regexp-search-ring-variable 'regexp-history) or: (setq regexp-history-variable 'regexp-search-ring) (setq regexp-search-ring-variable 'regexp-search-ring) -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
