------------------------

**A set of emacs functions and bindings to google under point.**

*google-this.el* is a package that provides a set of functions and keybindings for

launching google searches from within emacs.

The main function is `google-this` (bound to `C-c / g`). It does a

google search using the currently selected region, or the expression

under point. All functions are bound under `C-c /` prefix, in order to

comply with emacs' standards. To see all keybindings type `C-c / C-h`.

If you don't like this keybind, just reassign the

`google-this-mode-submap` variable.

My personal preference is `C-x g`:

       (global-set-key (kbd "C-x g") 'google-this-mode-submap)

       

To start a blank search, do `google-search` (`C-c / RET`). If you want

more control of what "under point" means for the `google-this`

command, there are the `google-word`, `google-symbol`, `google-line`

and `google-region` functions, bound as `w`, `s`, `l` and `SPC`,

respectively.

 

If a prefix argument is given to any of the functions, the search is

wrapped in quotes. (see `google-wrap-in-quotes`).

There is also a `google-error` (`C-c / e`) function. It checks the

current error in the compilation buffer, tries to do some parsing (to

remove file name, line number, etc), and googles it. It's still

experimental, and has only really been tested with gcc error reports.
