smartscan-mode

==============

Quickly jumps between other symbols found at point in Emacs.

How it works

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

Smart Scan will try to infer the symbol your point is on and let you jump to other, identical, symbols 

elsewhere in your current buffer with a single key stroke. The advantage over isearch is its unintrusiveness; 

there are no menus, prompts or other UI elements that require your attention.

Installation

============

```

(package-install 'smartscan)

```

Enable minor mode

```

(smartscan-mode 1)

```

or with `M-x smartscan-mode`.

Usage

=====

`M-n` and `M-p` move between symbols and type `M-'` to replace all symbols in the buffer matching the one under point, and `C-u M-'` to replace symbols in your current defun only (as used by `narrow-to-defun`.)
