Find first and Find previous in find box

[Evi01]

I often use the find box (CTRL+F) in my documents. For example, I search a word, and maybe this word occurs at the top of my document. I am working at the center of the document, and I must to go to the top, and then when I found and replaced what I wanted, I must go again into the top to check what I didn't replaced (I don't want to replace all just to check). It would be comfortable to be a button Find first, and an other button to Find previous in the Find box.

Hello Evi,

I thought about this before, but decided not to add both buttons (Next & Previous). Reason was, an available space in the Find dialog. It is already overcrouded with buttons and controls and this makes usability worse. Just check, what would happened in Replace mode - there would be no space in buttons area on bottom of dilaog at all.

Because of that, I have decided to add simplified dialog for document search, with less options but with most important actions available. Try Quick Search Bar. You can enable it in View->Panes->Quick Search Bar or by default shortcut Ctrl+Q. The bar is document oriented and its state saved in file properties. Quick Search Bar has Next and Previous buttons.

Best regards,
Alex.

Hi Evi, me too

and maybe this word occurs at the top of my document. I am working at the center of the document, and I must to go to the top,

Perhaps an work around is to enable "[X] Wrap Search" in Find-dialog ?
So HippoEDIT wraps around at bottom and goes to top on its own.
