how to force find-tag to first show exact hit?

[Gregor Zattler]

Dear Emacs-users,

if I do find-tag for e.g. `when' the first hit is
`quack-when-xemacs', the second `quack-when-gnuemacs', the third
`magit-commit-all-when-nothing-staged' ... and only the fourth
hit is `when' in subr.el.

Is there a way to force find-tag to first show an exact hit?


Ciao, Gregor

As long as your are in .el file, hit C-h f and C-h v while on a
function/variable and follow the link to the file from within the Help
buffer.

Or you can add the following to your .emacs,

(find-function-setup-keys)

Then you can do `C-x F' to find a function, `C-x V' to find a variable
or `C-x K' (for eg, C-x K C-x C-f) will jump directly to the command
bound to that particular key sequence.

There are other usefuly binding as below,

,----
| (defun find-function-setup-keys ()
| "Define some key bindings for the find-function family of functions."
| (define-key ctl-x-map "F" 'find-function)
| (define-key ctl-x-4-map "F" 'find-function-other-window)
| (define-key ctl-x-5-map "F" 'find-function-other-frame)
| (define-key ctl-x-map "K" 'find-function-on-key)
| (define-key ctl-x-map "V" 'find-variable)
| (define-key ctl-x-4-map "V" 'find-variable-other-window)
| (define-key ctl-x-5-map "V" 'find-variable-other-frame))

Great, that's it, especially C-x 4 F.

Thanks a bundle, Gregor
