- ++ Incremental Search
-
- When in a document type CTRL-F or F3 to start an incremental search in
- the left field of the status bar.
- When in incremental search mode anything you type becomes a search
- string, and as you type you are brought to matches in the current
- text. Typing CTRL-F, or F3 again or typing CURSOR DOWN or PAGE DOWN
- will "Search Next" while SHIFT-F3, CURSOR UP or PAGE UP search
- backwards.
-
- To exit incremental search mode type ENTER.
-
- Incremental search supports regex. For example: To match the
- word "incremental" or the word "search" in this document, type:
-
- CTRL-F
- incremental|search
- Then type CTRL-F again to cycle through the matches.
-
-
- Further details of the behavior of inc. search:
-
- * Ctrl-F while text is selected in editor copies it to search
- field up to the first newline or up to 30 characters
- * F3 starts search field with last search entered
- * Search starts at cursor position (1.8beta5 and prior started
- always at page beginning)
- * ENTER terminates search and keeps last found text selected (if any)
- * ESC terminates search and goes back where search began
- * Clicking outside of the search field terminates search
- * If search pattern is found search field is green
- * If search pattern is not found search field is yellow
- * If search pattern is an invalid regex, color doesn't change
-
-
- In the options dialog, page "Searching" there is also an option
- "Delay before auto-close". Entering a number greater 0 denotes the
- number of seconds of inactivity before incremental search is closed
- automatically. 0 means "wait forever".
