Use view_file_at_line () in src/cmd.c as a starting point . The
interesting part is contained in

  if (regex_command (...))

near the end of the function body. The code dealing with the quick view is
in layout.c - it shouldn't be too hard to find it :)

It shouldn't be too hard to implement this feature and indeed it makes
sense to have it.
