getting selection for search

[M Kelly]

Hi,

Is there a simple way to get the selected text in copy-mode-vi to use in a search-forward cmd ?
Something like: #{copy-selection}, as in -

bind -T copy-mode-vi '*' if -F "#{selection_present}" 'send -X stop-selection \; send -FX search-forward "#{copy-selection}"' 'send -FX search-forward  "#{copy_cursor_word}"'

thx,

-m

There is no format for it at the moment, but I don't mind having one,
a bit like copy_cursor_word/line.

Hi,

ok, I'll look into it soon.

Until then I can use load-buffer and show-buffer as a work-around.

thx,
