I'd like to have CTRL-\ act the same way CTRL-S does with all the "magic" such as when it is typed more than once -- you can search for the string you searched for the last time. As it stands now, CTRL-\ just prompts for a new search string repeatedly. Can I do this with a macro, or do I have to use a different function name than isearch-forward ? -- --==---==---==-- ..
