Yes, the presentation of the arrows is work made after alpha3 was out.

Sorry, I thought I saw separate traffic that this was yet to come.  I've
never actually switched that on any OS I've used LyX on.  But, yes, Cmd-G
with mac.bind works as expected.

Makes no difference here.

Mac 11.2.1 and LyX 2.3.6.2 with mac.bind having

\bind "C-g" "word-find-forward"

The Preferences -> shortcut shows same bound to ⌘-G and my user.bind
shows nothing.

F3 and Shift-F3 (on my MacBook with Strip) shows 'Unknown Function' but
no name of that unknow function.

Where else can I look?

It should already be like that on OSX, if you are using mac.bind.

Re: find next?

[David Pesetsky]

I really appreciate all the replies.  Jürgen's message is exactly what I 
discovered with more tinkering.

If you click on the document window, the "find next" key (⌘-G ) will do its job 
and get you to the next occurrence of the search string.  Without that, 
however, if focus remains in the Find window, nothing happens at all. That is 
what is non-intuitive.  In most other apps, You can search for what you want 
with ⌘-F, and then simply pressing ⌘-G gets you the next occurrence, with no 
other steps necessary.

https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11170

Here, F3 does work, but only if I gave the workarea focus, which is not
so apparent if you use the dialog. The working procedure is:

1. Ctrl-F
2. Enter search string
3. Hit Enter to fin first occurrence
4. Click into workarea OR close dialog
5. Hit F3 to find next occurrences

I suspect 4. is the crucial missing step.

I'll check if we can do something to avoid this unintuive extra step.

This has been a problem for many years. There is a long-standing ticket by me 
to bring search into Mac-compliance. For Mac fingers the LyX situation is 
extremely awkward. Here’s the Mac process:

**First Way**
open find dialog with Command-F
type or paste search string
close file dialog or bring focus to main window
hit Command-G to search forward or Shift-Command-G to search backward.

**Second Way**
open find dialog with Command-F
type or paste search string
Hit Next or Previous button
[LyX does not have Next and Previous but rather forces you to do additional 
clicking in the dialog to change direction.]

**Third Way**
[This is the “modern” way in many apps which does not raise a separate dialog 
box but rather opens a very small non-overlapping pane in the document window.]
open find dialog with Command-F
type or paste search string
hit Command-G to search forward or Shift-Command-G to search backward.

**Fourth Way**
[This does not require you to even open a dialog box if the search string can 
be highlighted in the main window.]
select search string in main window
hit Command-E. This enters the selected text into the search buffer.
hit Command-G to search forward or Shift-Command-G to search backward.

Fourth Way is probably the most common. Notice that you don’t even open a 
search window.


There are other problems in LyX searching.

1. The Find dialog box does not remember its location between uses. I’m sure 
this is a regression going back a number of years.

2. The “found” result can be _hidden_behind_ the Find dialog. Lots of luck 
finding it.

3. LyX is unaware of the system clipboard. In normal Mac apps, you can hit 
Command-E in one app, then switch to another app and the search string is ready 
to be used for finding in the second app without further user effort. This 
includes immediate use of Command-G and Shift-Command-G.

Here, F3 does work, but only if I gave the workarea focus, which is not
so apparent if you use the dialog. The working procedure is:

1. Ctrl-F
2. Enter search string
3. Hit Enter to fin first occurrence
4. Click into workarea OR close dialog
5. Hit F3 to find next occurrences

I suspect 4. is the crucial missing step.

I'll check if we can do something to avoid this unintuive extra step.

I can also confirm that CMD-G is bound to word-find-forward in
2.3.6.2  and (that non working of if) has been irritating me on
all of my Macs for at least 5 but maybe even 10 years.

Does one of the (Core-) Developers have a Mac?

PS On non-Mac systems, F3 is meant to do this.

In mac.bind, we have:

#  +: "Command-G"    # Find the next occurrence of the
selection
\bind "C-g"  "word-find-forward"

So that should work as you expect, David. I take it that it does not work?

If you open Tools> Preferences> Editing> Shortcuts and type "word-find"
in the "show key-bindings containing" field, what do you get?

Cmd-F opens a dialog that stays open while you are searching. With open, 
alt+N will do "find next" (as will clicking the Find Next button in the 
dialog.


If you want to repeat your last find operation after the dialog has been 
closed, there is an LFUN that will do it: word-find. It takes an 
argument (the search target), but if you omit the argument it repeats 
the last find. Assuming cmd-G is not bound to anything useful in your 
setup, you could bind it to word-find.
