I would also like to use ZWPL in regular searched & macros. Once you have oniguruma for searching setup i'll be able to finish the shortcut for 'select-contents-of-next-attribute' that I've been working on.
Seeing how this is a macro, you could record: 1) search for "(?=.*?") 2) move right 3) search for [^"]*
One problem I see with this though, is, that you can't know if you're inside an attribute, i.e. if you are, you'd have to skip the closing " before performing the steps above.
(and now I await the request to use scope selectors in searches :) )
Then I'll just have to figure out how to make a command for 'select- contents-of-previous-attribute' but I have no clue how to search backwards easily.
With normal searches you could search backwards for " (thrice). When I do migrate to oniguruma, backwards regexp searches will be possible.
