Hm, I don't depend on any particular word of any particular language
when memorising such a simple keybinding. Actually, I have stopped
thinking about it. It works like an Emacs isearch. Simple.

You've got to memorise Windows keybindings, too. BTW, I think gmc's
keybindings can be localised.

I see. This is a way to do it, for sure. Anyway I like the C-s
approach better because it equals the way I search for a string in a
document.
