I think the best option would be to have "search"/"search/replace" dialogs.
There one could implement all kinds of useful features, like "search
backwards" and "case sensitive" checkbox, "previous match" button, regular
expressions mode etc. This seems to be the quasi-standard now under all
OSes, and the current Texmacs implementation is really annoying for anything
else but searching for simple terms that only occur once. For long
documents, I always close the document and do the search/replace in a plain
text editor on the .tm file.
So as a start, I'd strongly vote for keeping the shortcut always active.

Hi,
this is a followup to my previous post about hidden shortcuts and still
related to bug 33131<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?33131>.
Following Sam Liddicott's comments in the bug tracker, I'm deciding whether
the keyboard shortcut for "Find next" ought to be always active or not.
Why it's a good idea:
1. Search mode is too easily exited, and having to retype the search
string is a real pain.
2. Sometimes I want to search, edit, then search again. This basically
amounts again to: "retyping the search string is a real pain".
Why it (might) not:
1. The default shortcut under some modes (for instance Emacs) is exactly
the same as the shortcut to start a new search, which means that the
behaviour in Linux or Mac OS mode would be different (I could "search again"
for my old search string, even though I already left search mode). In my
opinion this is not a problem, but quite on the contrary how it should be:
different environments behave differently
2. Ideas?
It's pretty obvious which side I'm leaning to, so if someone has any
objection this might be the right time before I commit changes to the
repository.
