Perhaps you misunderstood what was in square brackets in my example I-search: local variables [(emacs)File variables] `(emacs)File variables' is not the name of the current node and file. It is the name of the reference to another info file and node which is normally hidden by `Info-hide-note-references'. The purpose of text in square brackets is to show hidden reference names under the search point. This is especially useful in browser-like buffers (e.g. w3m) to show URLs of displayed link texts. Some web browsers (for example, text mode browser ELinks) already has such a feature where during typeahead search URLs are displayed in square brackets: Typeahead: gnu project [http://www.gnu.org/] In Emacs this will look similarly: I-search: gnu project [http://www.gnu.org/] -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
