Re: Is there an easier way to jump to the same word?

[Jambunathan K]

If you don't find

        `hi-lock-read-regexp-defaults-function'
        `occur-read-regexp-defaults-function'
        `find-tag-default-as-regexp'

then your bzr version in not the most recent one.  Try upgrading.  Here
is some customization that I have in .emacs.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

(setq hi-lock-read-regexp-defaults-function 'find-tag-default-as-regexp)
(setq occur-read-regexp-defaults-function 'find-tag-default-as-regexp)


(add-hook 'occur-hook (lambda nil (next-error)
                        (delete-other-windows)))

(add-hook 'occur-mode-find-occurrence-hook
          (lambda nil (highlight-regexp (find-tag-default-as-regexp))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
