Yes, that would probably be nice.

This isearch-yank-on-move -> 'shift thing is a difficult matter.  I'm
not sure any more if it's a good idea.  It's confusing if I get a
different behavior depending on the current major mode.  As a user I
would rather expect that the rule would be that Isearch would test any
shift binding to see what the binding without shift is doing, and invoke
that if it is a moving command.


Thanks,
