User-agent: |
Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/23.1.50 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) |
Package: emacs,doc-view
Severity: wishlist
Please add two features that would be easy to implement:
1. Copying the text of the current page to the kill ring.
PDF viewers allow selecting a rectangular area to copy it to the
clipboard. If this is not possible in DocView, then at least copying
the text of the whole page would be a satisfactory compensation.
Info and Dired bind similar commands to `w'.
2. Search currently is useless in DocView since it doesn't highlight
the current match.
What would be more useful is to implement Occur-like UI. For instance,
typing `doc-view-occur' would display an *Occur* buffer like:
Page 1: text text match text text
Page 1: text text text match text
Page 1: text text text text match
Page 2: text match text text text
Page 42: match text text text text
that allows to navigate to the corresponding page.
