Subject: [9fans] Acme: how to search only in selection
Date: Thu,  9 Aug 2012 15:11:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9025913.n3tMFBrZiE@coil> (raw)

Hi list,


how do I perform right-click search only in highlighted range?


Use case: while editing C-like code (PHP), I highlight whole function by 
clicking on opening brace and would like to search only the selection for all 
occurrences of some symbol stored in window's tag. Preferably with wrap-around 
after reaching end of the selection :D


(cue boyd with ``it's easier to post to 9fans than to think'')
