Used BBEdit since mid 90's and version 4. Great. But these changes
are killing me.
In prior versions (8 and below I think), when I performed a find (CMD
F), the find usually started at the top of the file. Not anymore.
Check the Wrap Around box at the bottom of the Find dialog.
You'll see a visual when the find wraps around to the first
instance of what you're searching for.
BBEdit is a language for programmers, so approach what you want
like a programmer would:
You can write a simple Applescript to move the cursor to the top
of the file, and add it as a menu-triggered script to the Find
command. Then whenever you call Find your little script will
move the cursor up before the find starts. Check the manual for
"Attaching Scripts to Menu Items". There are other ways to do
this, but here'a an example:
tell application "BBEdit"
select first character of text document 1
end tell
Finally, here is a similar Applescript that I use -- not
attached to the Find command but instead to jump up to the first
instance of what I have selected. I call it with an assigned
keyboard combo (Control-F but choose your own).
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
find text of selection searching in every text of text
document 1 options {starting at top:true, wrap around:false,
backwards:false, case sensitive:true, match words:false, extend
selection:false} with selecting match
end tell
But also annoying is the find dialog box staying on screen until I
close it. I use shortcuts when I write code, so I like having the box
disappear.
Just hit Escape to close the dialog or click in your doc window
to put it in front.
