Incorrect behavior when setting mark and searching
Hi there, thanks for all the hard work on this extension, it's much appreciated!
I'm encountering an issue when trying to select regions of text over long ranges. Normally, I would set the mark at the beginning of the region I'm interested in selecting with CTRL+SPC, and then I would search to the position I'm interested in ending the region. So, I would do something like CTRL+S then type a short phrase to indicate the ending position. Then, I could perform an operation, like CTRL+W.
However, I'm noticing that in the above steps, when I hit CTRL+S my selection terminates. I believe the correct Emacs behavior is to maintain the selection over the search.
Hi, @furious-luke . Do you find that CTRL+S works at all? I'm finding that it doesn't do anything, esp. when I unbind it for the native "Find" command and just have it bound to emacs-mcx.isearchForward.
Thank you for the detailed description. That's right, the current C-s behavior with mark-mode is not emulating the original one. I will work on it.
Hey @dbikel! Yep, CTRL+S works for me straight out of the box.
@whitphx Awesome, thanks so much!
Okay, that's great, but is it true incremental search, or just a different keystroke to invoke the native Find command widget?

@dbikel It's incremental search. It behaves very similarly to Emacs, except for the issue stated in my first post.
This is also a very desirable feature for me. Thanks again for the great product, I don't know what I'd do without it!
