btw, if anybody has difficulty understanding why i mention a bug or suggest a feature [such as why anbydoy would want it], please feel free to say so, otherwise i don't know that that is the case. [please go easy on me though.]
in this case, it is an emacs consistency fr. across emacs, next-error goes from match to match, and it seems to me [perhaps i am mistaken] that agenda searches should be emacsy too. as for why it would be useful to me, so that i can get full context, with point at the match, thus 1] getting all the matches in my hands in the outline and 2] being able to edit immediately. furthermore, the next-closest thing, follow mode, puts point in wrong window. also, 'canonical visibility is not present so i cannot see everything [this might or might not be fixable by user]. also there is an accessibility issue with it. i use large fonts so 2 windows do not show much. i use 2 windows only for very rare completion or selecting purposes. not usable here. but i think it is an emacs consistency issue. i agree with the frequently expressed idea that new features should be justified carefully, and next-error working as in e.g. grep seems right here. this isn't a huge deal for me at all, but e.g. when i do agenda searches i get really overwhelmed by the size and irrelevance [including duplication] of my own org forest developed over years. next-error would help me traverse and trim it rapidly. i could perhaps create a kb macro to emulate it, but i haven't tried yet. then again, one could do so for grep mode etc. also. :] On 12/14/21, Samuel Wales <samolog...@gmail.com> wrote: > if you search for a regexp in a single org buffer, you can do > next-error to go to the next search. > > if you search in agenda, there is a mode where the match will show up > in the ohter window. i find this inconvenient. > > there is no next-error to go to the next match for agenda searches. > or am i missing this feature someplace? seems strange not to? > > such a thing would be consistent with c-c / / in an org buffer, > grep-mode, occur-mode, compilation-shell-minor-mode. thanks! > > -- > The Kafka Pandemic > > A blog about science, health, human rights, and misopathy: > https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com > -- The Kafka Pandemic A blog about science, health, human rights, and misopathy: https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com
