Find dialog has been reworked.
That's great! There is now some keystroke interaction and the ability to repeat finds accounts for maybe 40% of usage so one can significantly often avoid reopening the find dialog. However reopening the find dialog can be painful and the keystrokes defined in the find dialog lose their significance back in the document. Perhaps if the find keystrokes were the same, eg ctrl-F in both places, and all buttons had hot keys in the document context... following some user configurable/standard convention. Or a quick stop gap would be to make it easy to just get back to the find dialog :( ctrl-f loses its meaning to open the find dialog, and multiple Alt-Shift-Tab is arduous and slow ): Say you use ctrl-f to get you whichever of find/replace that was last open, (similar to the current logic with no find window open) and the new key defs become active in the document window. That, with a few more hot keys, would do it. But better might be to follow a convention document like whatever serves for such at Microsoft. First trick is to get everything hot keyed in both contexts, then second, to plug in your key remapping capability. ~greg -- The p beta for Windows is available at: http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j601pbeta_win.exe Most problems discussed in the forum have been addressed. isigraph control now supports events for middle button, mouse wheel, and focus (gained and lost). See Help|User|Window Driver Command Reference Overview|isigraph events. Printer support is now complete. See labs Print Basic and Print. Find dialog has been reworked. PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) now works with UTF-8 encoding. Use with data that is not UTF-8 can give unexpected results. Verb rxutf8_jregex_ with an argument of 0 selects the old, non UTF-8 behavior and an argument of 1 selects the new UTF-8 behaviour. The PCRE shared library is now built with the July 2006 6.7 source (previous version was with theSept 2004 5.0 source). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
