It is difficult to remmeber all nice features of isearch. Would it be possible to bind c-h to isearch-mode-help in isearch? This is done in isearch+.el by Drew Adams.
I think you are right. Beside what Drew have I have a patch for this (which is part of my patches in the patched version of Emacs+EmacsW32).
However I have began to rethink how such help could be implemented. There are other rather similar cases. In tabkey2.el (see EmacsWiki) I also needed to implement some specific help. This is what I did there:
- When the user hits the help key (f1/C-h) a message saying: "Type a char for Emacs help. Or, wait for Tab completion help"- If the response is k or c then specific keybindings valid during tab completion is shown.
This way the user can have access to both a specific help and the usual Emacs help.
