- You can type C-q in isearch to quote a character; e.g. in your article
- I searched sucesfully for "?^J-" by typing C-s ? C-q C-j.
-
- I have changed the search-exit-char to C-m myself when I heard about
- this some time ago and I am very happy with this change. I always
- found it really annoying that in isearch an inadvertently typed
- function key destroyed my text. This is *especially* annoying when you
- haven't even noticed it and the compiler issues strange error messages
- about code that you didn't intend to modify.
-
- BTW, what I use *is* Emacs 18.59, I am a little puzzled by the
- original poster's statement about finding this in the info of 18.59. I
- did *not* find it in 18.59's info, and I believe that this is a
- statement of Jamie Zawinski about Lucid Emacs.
