As described in the gedit help at https://help.gnome.org/users/gedit/3.8 /gedit-search.html.en :
- You can press Enter to cancel a search and retain the current cursor position. (This behavior is admittedly not consistent with other GNOME applications; see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699658 for a request to change this.) - Right click the magnifying glass icon or the search text to get to search options (match case, match whole world, wrap around). I'm marking this bug as invalid because it mentions several different issues, some of which were due to not understanding gedit's current interface. Feel free to open up new bugs for individual specific issues. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #699658 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699658 ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1136644 Title: gedit search function is not practical anymore Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: i use gedit a lot, and i find it comfortable in general. the new small search window is extremely impractical. FOCUS PROBLEM: CTRL+F > type a search (search of longer strings FAR TOO SLOW) > find and now, typing ESC brings one back to the former place! when trying to use CTRL-F again, the search string is replaced by new text. if one wants to stay in the found passage, one must use the mouse/touchpad to click into the text. this is an extremely annoying feature/behavior. i simply would like to have the old search window + its behavior back. i am working very quickly and mostly using shortcuts. gedit now completely interrupts my way of working. additionally, where are the other search functions such as case- sensitive search? additionally, i do not want the search function to slow down so much. for me it is ok to start the search after i have finished typing my search string :-) this new energy-consuming ZEITGEIST-etc-fashion is not good for quick workers with serious amounts of data. best wishes, vollmanr To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1136644/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
