------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu May 17 17:42:32 +0000 2007 ------- The problem with this issue is that it's easy to rush things here. I understand that users might get back after searching. Here we find only the "replace all" case but why should we stop there? Wouldn't it be useful to have the same functionality for "replace" or "find"? But how should several consecutive search/replace calls be handled? Should we go back one step only? Or should we go back immediately to the start? There's also another, comparable case: a user has clicked on a reference/link and now wants to go back to the place where the link is (issue 5608). Should we mix this "history" of clicks with the "history" of search results? Keeping both separated would create bloat IMHO but mixing them OTOH could be confusing. And at what time should we throw away the "history"? Should we throw it away as soon as the user navigates or changes the selection? Or only when the document is modified? Choosing the first option could solve the problem of having two histories as clicking on a hyperlink then will automatically clear the history built by searching and vice versa. And do people expect also to be able to jump in both directions, back and forth, pretty much as they can in a browser? The next interesting question is the user interface. Surely we need a shortcut. Should we have a button also? IMHO the toolbars are overcrowded already. But perhaps an optional one makes sense. The implementation of the basic feature can be comarably simple: I would just store the current selection on a stack and restore it on demand. I'm sure we find some more interesting questions. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
