With the regular search forward from Emacs if you keep pressing C-s you cycle through all the findings.

Right now I'm using visual-regexp package with the visual-regexp-steroids extension that has a forward search too, but using regular expressions ( vr/isearch-forward). After running the search how do I cycle through all the findings?.

  • What is "visual regex package"? Just what are you doing to install and initiate it? Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 17:36
  • Yes, I'm sorry, I should clarify more the question. I just updated the question with more info. Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 17:41
  • I see no vr/isearch-forward in visual-regexp package. So far, the question risks being closed as unclear. Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 19:20
  • Is in a extension of that package visual-regexp-steroids Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 19:29

Now that you've clarified that you use vr/isearch-forward from visual-regexp-steroids.el, I tried it, and I see no problem. Repeating C-s advances through the search hits.

IOW, it works for me, at least. All I did was load the file, set vr/engine to emacs (since I am used to Emacs-style regexps), and try vr/isearch-forward with a simple regexp. Using C-s repeatedly after that navigated through the search hits.

Does it not work if you start Emacs without your init file: emacs -Q? If that works then recursively bisect your init file to find out what causes the problem.

  • Ok,then if it works on yours, it's a problem with my configuration or my Emacs. I'll test getting rid of everything but the essential for the visual search to work and see if it does. Thank you! Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 20:20

Author of the package here. Hitting C-s and C-r should work. Just tested it with the python engine.

  • It does work, the problem was that I mapped the C-s to your package, so when I pressed the second time the C-s it didn't cycle through the findings. Commented Jun 16, 2015 at 11:15
