how to helm-swoop next match?

[jaydixit]

I'm used to using isearch-forward for finding strings in my buffer. I am in the process of switching to helm-swoop, which seems much more powerful since it shows me all matches first and allows me to then choose which instance to visit.

However, I am in the habit of, having found one match, hitting isearch-repeat-forward to jump to the next match. Is there a way to invoke this from within helm-swoop?

I'm not sure what you intend to. I guess: A. Just invoke isearch-repeat-forward while doing helm-swoop. B. When helm-swoop called, it starts with selecting the next match using last used words. Could you tell me more specifically?

For me, when I do helm-swoop RET foo RET, then invoke isearch-repeat-forward from within helm-swoop, it hangs. Same thing with helm-multi-swoop-all followed by search string followed by isearch-repeat-forward. If I do C-g then look at Messages, I see this:

goto-history-element: Wrong type argument: numberp, nil
Quit
goto-history-element: Wrong type argument: numberp, nil
byte-code: Beginning of bufferError during redisplay: (eval (format "L%d" (helm-candidate-number-at-point))) signaled (error "No buffer named *helm*")

ad-Orig-call-interactively: End of buffer
(Shell command succeeded with no output)

I'm afraid I couldn't reproduce the error. I guess those error belong to helm.

Perhaps you can fix this problem by setting the keybind assigning to isearch-repeat-forward If you assigned C-s to isearch-repeat-forward

(define-key helm-swoop-map (kbd "C-s") 'helm-next-line)
(define-key helm-multi-swoop-map (kbd "C-s") 'helm-next-line)
