It's not REALLY a feature of windows. But it's a quite simple one to implement, and you've got access (as a developer) to some explicit source code. (Argh. Sounds like I'm talking about porn-code) > What is the point of the question you asked?? Well, acutally, I'd say he was looking for a find command. =P Could such a thing be implemented widget-set wide? I mean, could a single program search through all gtk-based text editors currently opened? Or does this need some modifications to GTK? How eays could it be done?
