Find
Locked
 
|
Just grabbed the latest release
Used to be that I could do <ctrl>F in the Editor, type in a word, press <enter> and find the first instance of that word. That still works. Used to be that I could then press <enter> again to find the second instance of the word. This no longer works. It seems that I now need to drop the keyboard, go find the mouse, go find a Next button, and click it. Then go find the keyboard again. I find this to be much less efficient than in the past.

That does work. I wonder why <enter> was removed. It now does nothing at all, and in the past it did something useful. Oh, well. On 2/8/2021 11:51 AM, dpa wrote:

You can work with <ctl>g also in the editor and find the next one. That would not work with <enter>. Am Mo., 8. Feb. 2021 um 17:54 Uhr schrieb jon <[hidden email]>:

Ah. I always found having to enter and exit Find to be annoying. I guess I was missing the <ctl>g trick. Thanks! On 2/8/2021 11:59 AM, dpa wrote:

Perhaps if the button had read "Next - <ctl>g" this entire thread would have been unnecessary. Jon

I can't immediately find any difference in the behavior of Find between 2019.05 and 2021.01. [Enter] finds the next instance if and only if Find's text entry box has the focus. _______________________________________________ OpenSCAD mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org |

I put my cursor in the text box of the Find and hit <enter> and nothing changes in the editor. Puzzling. Wow. Just Wow. The <enter> key does not work, but the <enter> key on the keypad does work. <ctrl>-g it is, I guess

I agree!
I have been using F3 for find-again for decades. I find the "modern" editors to be infuriating. Why can't we keep things that work?!?

To be fair, I just looked at the Pluma editor on my Linux box, and "Find
Next" is Ctrl-G, which may just be a Unix/Linux standard. I am just in the process of switching over from the Evil Empire to Ubuntu, so I am not intimately familiar with Linux conventions yet. Perhaps a configuration choice would help. A friendlier method might be for OpenSCAD to detect the OS it is running on, and use the appropriate conventions. jon_bondy wrote > I agree! > > I have been using F3 for find-again for decades.

Using a Mac also changes the conventions F3 shows all windows Chrome and Safari both use Cmd-G for next after Cmd-F for find But my preferred code editor BBEDIT uses Ctrl-G for next (not Cmd) don’t follow this with enter as it will delete the highlighted found word! cheers Bob

There is a plan to allow key/function customisation.

Note that for Mac users, this customization is already possible in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
