This package contains a Transient menu for I-Search. When in basic I-Search mode, this menu can be raised by pressing the <f2> key. A menu of different isearch commands will be offered as shown below:

Use the following lines to install cc-isearch-menu.

(require 'casual-isearch)
(define-key isearch-mode-map (kbd "<f2>") #'casual-isearch-tmenu)

The keybinding to casual-isearch-tmenu can be changed to user preference.

The following I-Search commands are grouped as follows in the Transient menu casual-isearch-tmenu. Keys associated with each command are shown enclosed in parentheses.

• isearch-edit-string (e)
• isearch-yank-word-or-char (w)
• isearch-yank-symbol-or-char (s)
• isearch-yank-line (l)
• isearch-yank-kill (y)
• isearch-forward-thing-at-point (t)

• isearch-query-replace (r)
• isearch-query-replace-regexp (x)

• isearch-toggle-regexp (X)
• isearch-toggle-symbol (S)
• isearch-toggle-word (W)
• isearch-toggle-case-fold (F)
• isearch-toggle-lax-whitespace (L)

• isearch-occur (o)
• isearch-highlight-regexp (h)
• isearch-highlight-lines-matching-regexp (H)

• isearch-repeat-forward (n)
• isearch-repeat-backward (p)

The Transient key C-q will dismiss the menu.

When in search mode (typically via the keybinding C-s or C-r), pressing the keybinding <f2> (or binding of your preference) will raise the Transient menu casual-isearch-tmenu. Once raised, only the I-Search commands in the Replace and Misc sections will automatically dismiss the menu when selected. All other I-Search commands will not dismiss the menu.

Note that editing the search text via isearch-edit-string will enter a recursive editing mode that is normally exited when pressing the return key.

As built-in behavior to Transient menus, C-q will dismiss all nested menus. Alternately one can use C-g to dismiss the present menu as this package only has one menu.
