Because of certain hardware limitations, I've used global-set-key so
that I can invoke isearch-forward with CTRL-\ instead of CTRL-S.
I'd like to have CTRL-\ act the same way CTRL-S does with all the "magic"
such as when it is typed more than once -- you can search for the string
you searched for the last time. As it stands now, CTRL-\ just prompts for
a new search string repeatedly. Can I do this with a macro, or do I have
to use a different function name than isearch-forward ?
