@dmap-guru thats sounds like a better proposal, if something is selected when the find dialog is re-activated then the new selection is used for the search text, rather than setting the search text any time there is a selection made with the dialog open.
I'm not sure it should be tied to the existing setting, since on re-activation it does not "use the word under the cursor" but a "Replace search text with selection on dialog activation" or some such setting would describe it better. Then again it may not need a setting since you must leave something selected on re-activation to trigger it. And it probably could also work on find-next, find-previous as well. By the way @codebrainz pointed out on IRC that there are existing "Find next/previous selection" menu items, and although they are not bound to keys by default, you can do so. I am not sure how much of the original posters use-case that covers but it would seem to do a lot of it. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/758#issuecomment-180285474
