Funny behaviour in Aquamacs 1.4

[José Figueroa-O'Farrill]

Hi,

I've noticed a new behaviour in 1.4.  When I do an incremental search
and I stop the search with, say, a return.  The mark is set and the
region from the start of the match to the point is highlighted.  I
thought that this could be related to the variable search-highlight,
being 't', but I have set it to 'nil' and it still behaves this way.
Can someone tell me which is the right variable controlling this
behaviour?

Many thanks, José

This works as intended, and as in other OS X applications.

Unless you also use Command-G, you can disable the behavior with this:

(remove-hook 'isearch-mode-end-hook 'aquamacs-set-region-to-search-
match)

There should be a customization variable for this in future versions:  
does anyone want to add the appropriate code to osxkeys.el?

Thanks.

Yes, but you see... my dream is not for Emacs to behave like an OS X
application, but for OS X applications to behave like Emacs :-)

Yes, but you see... my dream is not for Emacs to behave like an OS X
application, but for OS X applications to behave like Emacs :-)

Since new features like this are bound to be introduced from time to time, where would I find out how to turn them off when the next such feature is introduced? I was also a bit miffed by this, felt like the http://aquamacs.org/features.shtml should've noted for each such feature how to turn it off...

Extending Emacs to let it behave like OS X is a very good thing, as long as individuals can turn the behaviour off ;-)

If you would like other OS X applications to have many of the same key
bindings as you use in Emacs, try KeyRemap4MacBook
(http://www.pqrs.org/tekezo/macosx/keyremap4macbook/). It has an
"Emacs mode" that I use and find very convenient. To see all the
bindings that are supported, have a look at the "Emacs mode" section
on this page: http://www.pqrs.org/tekezo/macosx/keyremap4macbook/list.html

There are millions of features in Emacs.  That page can't possible  
list configuration options for all of them.

You're always free not to update.

That said, I usually try to document this in the change log.
I'll try to be more diligent.  The difficulty is simply to tell in  
advance which functionality needs configurability.
