.SH NAME
searchable\-scrollback \- incremental scrollback search
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered by
the \f(CW\*(C`searchable\-scrollback:start\*(C'\fR action (bound to \f(CW\*(C`M\-s\*(C'\fR by
default). While in search mode, normal terminal input/output is
suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
.PP
Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
search. In addition, the following bindings are recognized:
.ie n .IP """BackSpace""" 4
.el .IP \f(CWBackSpace\fR 4
.IX Item "BackSpace"
Remove a character from the regex.
.ie n .IP """Insert""" 4
.el .IP \f(CWInsert\fR 4
.IX Item "Insert"
Append the value of the PRIMARY selection to the regex.
.ie n .IP """Up""" 4
.el .IP \f(CWUp\fR 4
.IX Item "Up"
Search for a match upwards.
.ie n .IP """Down""" 4
.el .IP \f(CWDown\fR 4
.IX Item "Down"
Search for a match downwards.
.ie n .IP """Prior""" 4
.el .IP \f(CWPrior\fR 4
.IX Item "Prior"
Scroll up.
.ie n .IP """Next""" 4
.el .IP \f(CWNext\fR 4
.IX Item "Next"
Scroll down.
.ie n .IP """End""" 4
.el .IP \f(CWEnd\fR 4
.IX Item "End"
Scroll to the bottom.
.ie n .IP """Escape""" 4
.el .IP \f(CWEscape\fR 4
.IX Item "Escape"
Leave the mode and return to the point where search was started.
.ie n .IP """Enter"" or ""Return""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWEnter\fR or \f(CWReturn\fR" 4
.IX Item "Enter or Return"
Leave the mode maintaining the current position in the scrollback.
Additionally, if the \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR modifier is active, store the first
match in the current line into the primary selection.
.PP
The regex defaults to "(?i)", resulting in a case-insensitive search. To
get a case-sensitive search you can delete this prefix using \f(CW\*(C`BackSpace\*(C'\fR
or simply use an uppercase character which removes the "(?i)" prefix.
