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.  I find the "modern" > editors to be infuriating.  Why can't we keep things that work?!? > > > On 2/9/2021 10:48 AM, lar3ry wrote: >> jon_bondy wrote >>> Perhaps if the button had read "Next - >>> > <ctl> >>> g" this entire thread would >>> have been unnecessary. >> 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/ >> >> _______________________________________________ >> OpenSCAD mailing list >> > Discuss@.openscad >> http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org >> > > _______________________________________________ > OpenSCAD mailing list > Discuss@.openscad > http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

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 > On 9 Feb 2021, at 15:59, lar3ry <lar3ry@sasktel.net> wrote: > > 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.
