A dropdown-list of the last expressions in the FillBlock-Dialogue would be nice.

The thing I miss most is incremental search like emacs/msvc editor provide. It's amazing how fast you can find text with this ability.

How does that work? Is it a scripted set of commands?

Incremental search? It works by moving the selection to the matching text as you type the text.

E.g., if I want to search for the word 'incremental', currently I have to bring up the search dialog, type in 'incremental' (where there's a chance of a typo), then press enter. With an incremental seach, I just start typing 'i n c ...', and each time I enter a letter it moves to the text that matches the characters I've typed, so that normally I don't have to enter but a few characters of the string I'm searching for.

Ah -- got it -- rather like typing a keyword in the Find tab for a .HLP file.

Thanks!

It would be nice, but I couldn't say it would supplant editable macros for my #1 wish.

But I've given up TextPad wishes for the Lenten season. Also the pre- and post-Lenten seasons.

exactly. Well, that's _my_ #1 wish... ;) ... after using it for a while, one grows quite dependant on it.

Re: Search results of the active file

Post by Manuel Croissier »

Hi,

I love how find in files works. Sometimes I need to see a list of the result of a search in one file. I use the hard way, as I copy the document as the unique file on a especial subdirectory.

Does any one can give me a clue how I can do that until this feature should be included in a future version.

Thanks in advance
Manuel
