Thanks. So this happens when you're typing your search into a
find dialog? And then you jump back to your text to edit? When
the incremental search searches and finds as you type, is the
found text *selected* or just color highlighted?
Whether one might want this seems like a work-style difference
among some of us. When I can, I disable search systems that
start providing guesses as soon as I type, just as I don't use
BBEdit's auto-complete (I think it was MS Word that provided my
original pain with this misfeature.)
But I suppose plenty must like this behavior...
I do a huge amount of searching, especially "find the next
instance of the selected text" without ever opening the find
dialog -- just command keys. And Quick Find will visually
identify all instances if I need to see them all at once. Even
replacements can be set via the keyboard. I turn to the find
dialog mostly when I need to compose a regular expression for a
search, and/or specify a complicated replacement.
Barebones is very responsive to feature requests, especially if
they understand your "use case" and get a clear description of
the behavior you want. And some of us totally-mind-clamped
BBEditors will grumpily speak up and say "Sure, go ahead and
request that (weird|crazy|discredited|younger-than-me) feature
-- no prob as long as it can be optional."
