I just started using FM12 this week, coming from FM10, and just ran full tilt into a major difference in functionality that I don't know how to get past:
In FM10, when doing a search, once the first string/object was found, the cursor focus was automatically placed back into the document itself at the point where the searched for object/string was found, so I could immediately start making changes. In FM12, on the other hand, when you perform a search, the cursor focus remains in the search pod, and hitting Esc or Alt+Tab doesn't put you back in the document flow! My workflow for some rather laborious tasks after the initial search string is entered into the search pod is Ctrl+f, ENTER, [make changes necessary], Ctrl+ f, ENTER, [make different changes at next location], lather rinse repeat. In FM10 and earlier versions all the way back to 5 or 6, the interface kept me in the document text flow so I never had to lift my fingers from the keyboard. Now, I have to manually click with the mouse into the document to get back, which for a keyboard-centric worker is [CENSORED] inefficient and frustrating. One of the things I love about Frame is that I can literally do the majority of my work without touching the [CENSORED] mouse. In FM12, is there a keystroke that will move the cursor focus from the search pod back into the document to the point where the searched-for object is located? Or is there any way (preference, scripting, whatever) to make the search pod NOT retain cursor focus after a search is executed? This is very frustrating. Thanks, -Dan
