I have this function:
(defun my-replacements ()
(interactive)
(query-replace "foo" "bar" nil (point-min) (point-max))
(query-replace "baz" "quz" nil (point-min) (point-max))
(query-replace "fred" "thud" nil (point-min) (point-max)))
If I run it and accidentally type, for example, 'k' during one of the replacements, the function is interrupted, skipping all the remaining replacements.
I know that query-replace
accepts only events binded in the query-replace-map
and from the manual I know that:
Aside from this, any other character exits the query-replace, and is then reread as part of a key sequence. Thus, if you type C-k, it exits the query-replace and then kills to end of line. In particular, C-g simply exits the query-replace.
I would like to circumvent this behavior by ensuring that events not defined in the query-replace-map
are simply ignored. Is there a way to achieve this?
I thought it could be done with a macro, e.g.:
(with-ignore-qr-unbinded-events
MY CODE HERE)
but I have no idea how to do it.
As a feature request, I would like to add an optional argument to the function so that I can have control over this behavior. Does it make sense to you?
Edit. I just realized that a better idea would be using a variable to control this feature I request.
