Think of editing CSV files and you don't do the same every time so a macro is not helpful. But moving to the next separator is. And I can easily repeat it, hey even in the opposite direction in case I did wrong!
True enough, being able to repeat in this scenario will be handy, then use ",," for "," for example maybe a compromise?
The shadowing part should be clear, but I'll drop an example: You shadow `find-char' and have some tedious repetitious task, say with CSV files: Find the third field and enter something. Unless you have some complex data (e.g. escaped field separators), you're fine with a macro and `find-char'.
Again, maybe ",," can be a compromise.
Sure, whatever works for you :) (Actually a great idea that I hadn't thought of before, thanks!) Michael
