[Jed-users-l] isearch_forward match highlighting

[Parke <parke.nexus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have used Emacs since 1993.  In 2009 I also started using Jed for
some tasks.  I started using Jed because I was having difficulty
customizing Emacs - Emacs was just too large and complicated, and I
preferred S-Lang over Lisp.

When using Jed, I often miss the following feature of Emacs:

When doing an isearch_forward: in Emacs all matches on the screen will
be highlighted, where as in Jed only the single next match will be
highlighted.  I like being able to quickly see all the matches at a
glance.  (In Emacs, there is a slight pause after I stop typing before
Emacs performs the mass highlighting.)

My questions are:

1) Has a feature like this ever been considered for Jed?

2) How hard would it be for a competent C programmer to add this feature to Jed?

Thanks!

-Parke
