The non-modal Find window represents a now UI paradigm for BBEdit. It differs, in some intrinsic ways, from the previous method used. Preserving the old keyboard equivalents for the buttons, for example, was simply not possible in a non-modal Find window, since they conflict with standard keyboard shortcuts for menubar commands which are globally available. It is for this reason (preserving the UI reflexes of existing users) that we left the option to use the modal Find dialog in place.
