Re: Making ^J and ^H work in / (search)

I have the following:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-h") 'delete-backward-char) (global-set-key (kbd "C-j") (kbd "RET"))

How do I make this work in evil-mode's / (search)?

Bonus points if anyone has the scoop on making it work in helm as well.

I guess, you actually want to make ‘C-h’ equal to ‘DEL’ and ‘C-j’ to ‘RET’ *everywhere*, not just in isearch (there is no any evil-mode’s search, as far I know), helm, etc. Nothing is easier: (define-key key-translation-map (kbd "C-h") (kbd "DEL")) (define-key key-translation-map (kbd "C-j") (kbd "RET")) I would not reject ‘C-j’ though, it is useful sometimes to have two returns: a ‘smart’ one and a ‘dumb’ one.
