Quick search (or incremental search) (ctrl-e) means you start the search with an empty search-term, then as you type the editor searches for whatever fragment you typed ctrtl-e => status-bar displays searching b => status bar displays "b" / editor goes to the next "b" (b is highlighted, all other occurrences are highlighted in yellow) e => status bar shows "be" / editor goes to next "be" f => "bef" => .... backspace => "be" editor returns to "be" g, i, n => "begin" - while in quicksearch, pressing F3 or ctrl-e again => jump to the next search result of the same term - start quick search with ctrl-e, ctrl-e => resume with last search term Martin _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
