Hi Gordon and Frank, Thanks for the suggestion, it does indeed work :) Silly me, I never realized that a key could be set to some other keystrokes rather than an elisp form... Guido On 31 January 2016 at 17:56, Gordon Gustafson <[email protected]> wrote:

(define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "`") "viW*")

Change the backtick to the key you want to bind to, of course.

Hi,

I am a happy user of evil-visualstar (https://github.com/bling/evil-visualstar/blob/master/evil-visualstar.el )

I frequently use this key sequence: 'viW*' (without the quotes)

I'd like to write a short function that achieves this so that I can map it to a single key in evil-normal-state-map, something like

(defun guivho-viW-star() "Visual select inner WORD and search for it" (interactive) ;(select-inner-WORD-function-as-would-be-achieved-by-viW) (evil-visualstar/begin-search-forward))

I've looked up what is called by 'v', and it claims to be defined in evil-states-el, but I don't find it there. It claims to be defined as

(evil-visual-char &optional MARK POINT TYPE MESSAGE)

but I don/t know how to express the 'iW' part in that signature.

Please advise,

TIA,

Guido
