Hi Marcus,
In the MS Advanced Editor, I often use Search/Find by hitting CTRL+F and after finding the first occurrence, I often hit...
Find Next F3
...over and over again, tapping the F3 key... until I get to the end of the script and realize I've gone too far...
...and at that point, I would love a different keyboard shortcut to back up a few occurrences but there is none. I have to drag the scrollbar up, click into the script higher up and tap F3 again to get to the "Next" occurrence I'm looking for.
Or, I could hit CTRL+F again and click the radio button to reverse the direction of the search and click OK and after that I could now tap F3 to search backwards until I arrive at the end (the top of the scipt this time) and once again further F3 tapping is of no use.
Two suggestions:
1. When tapping F3 and you get to the end, don't just stop, roll around and search from the top again like other popular text editors - Notepad++ does that for example.
2. Please add another choice to the MS Advanced Editor Search menu:
Find Previous Shift+F3
This could still honor whatever my Find Direction is currently set to... I could tap F3 to search and if I searched too far, I could use Shift+F3 to search back the other way. This may even be somewhat of a "standard"... again I know that Notepad++ offers "Find Previous Shift+F3".
It may seem like a small thing but it would make it so much easier when searching back and forth through a huge script with lots of jumps to a label and you're looking for all the places from where that label is called.
Thanks for listening and please reply to let me know if you are considering this one.
