Hm, de facto that works for me, I'm doing \C-o here. Which was hard to
figure out at the beginning with Emacs BTW.

`C-h r' `C-s C-q C-j' `C-s':

So, both of you are right.

FWIF, I learned `C-q C-j', because it was easier to remember once I knew
what `C-q' does, thusly avoiding the "hard to figure out at the
beginning" bit.
