What were you trying to do?
Trying to rebind the C-s (forward search, in emacs default bound to
isearch-forward) to another binding.
What's wrong:
The rebound C-s worked fine, the problem occurs when you try to do a
skip to the next string. Like this... supposed I do a C-s and want to
search for the string "th". Emacs will move the cursor to the first
instance of "th". Hitting C-s again will jump the cursor to the next
instance.
If C-s is rebound to, say "M-o", and I do the second search (for the
next instance), the string "th" is erased and I am reprompted for
another string.
However, if I use the rebound "M-o" the first time, and use C-s the
second time, it'll jump to the next occurrence of "th".
What should have happened:
It DEFINITELY should have jumped to the next instance...
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Doing a C-h k on C-s (key description) will give you
isearch-forward.
Obviously something is hard-coded here, when it shouldn't be.
