quick find in editor

[Christo Kutrovsky]

Sometimes i copy/paste a pl/sql program unit into another editor because of some of the very handy shortcuts it has. Helps me find stuff much faster.

I think the current pl/sql editor has some very nice features, but lacks some very basic ones, specifically when searching for text.

I would like to recommend the following enhacements:
- FIND dialog should sais "not found" when a string is not found. Currently it sais nothing.
- FIND dialog should have an option to wrap arround (from current location).
- ADD QUICK FIND. Selecting a text and pressing SEARCH AGAIN should search the selected text with the default options.
- ADD FIND PREVIUOS (backwords). Also make find next/previous be independant of the checkbox "search backwards" in the find, so that the shortcut for BACK always searches up.

Scott ,

The findall is definetelly nice. I think i'll put it as my main CTRL+F shortcut.

However I still miss the quick find up/down funcitonality. Very convenient.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

with focus on the results in the FindAll window just use the cursor up/down keys.
