Re: [Jed-users-l] isearch_forward bound to ^S vs \e[53~

[Manfred Hanke <Manfred.Hanke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Parke,

the reason for this behavior is that jed has not yet left the first call
of `isearch_forward' when you press F32 the second time, i.e., the loop
of `isearch_dir(1)' (defined in isearch.sl) is still processing your
input, and not jed's key bindings.

The custom variable `Isearch_Forward_Char' allows to configure which
(single) key causes the "continue isearch_forward" behavior. It tries to
default to the same key bound to `isearch_forward', but it seems that
the current code can only handle Ctrl-sequences and nothing like \e[53~.
I'm not an expert with terminal sequences at all, but \e[53~ seems to
correspond to more than one key for the `getkey' function (which is used
inside the `isearch_dir'-loop), so you might not be able to "correct"
the value of `Isearch_Forward_Char' for your needs while using the
current code of isearch.sl.

Cheers,

Manfred
