 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: > <ctl>g ? > > > Am Mo., 8.

You can work with <ctl>g also in the editor and find the next one. That would not work with <enter>. Am Mo., 8.

Ah.  I always found having to enter and exit Find to be annoying.  I guess I was missing the <ctl>g trick. Thanks!

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

Here too, on Windows 10 if that matters. 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.

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 On 2/8/2021 5:41 PM, Jordan Brown wrote: > On 2/8/2021 2:11 PM, MichaelAtOz wrote: >> jon_bondy wrote >>> Used to be that I could then press >>> <enter> >>> again to find the second >>> instance of the word.  This no longer works. >> Works for me on Windows7. > > Here too, on Windows 10 if that matters. > > 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 > Discuss@lists.openscad.org > http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org

Perhaps if F3 had been used for repeated Finds, nobody would have even wondered about it. I would never have considered using anything other than File->Reload (or Ctrl-R) for reload, let alone F3. -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/
