Find a la Notepad
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 1:51 pm
First, I love this program. It allows me to open large textfiles quickly, and for that alone its worth the price.
I notice when I use Find (F5) it puts the sought after string in the middle of the page. I can see why in most cases this is a big improvement on Notepad (which seems to always position itself at the bottom of the page).
But there is a scenario where I'd prefer Find to work a la Notepad--when I am browsing a text file of pairs of records followed by a simple dividing line. So, if I set the search string to the dividing line, Notepad nicely positions the cursor at the bottom of the page, and then I can view both members of the pair without scrolling.
Any chance of an option to do this?
