Ctrl+F Esc F3 By Emacs and VI standards those are pretty short shortcuts :-) They all also have the nice side effect of highlighting all occurences of the word in question. Hitting Esc one more time removes the highlighting. Adding additional methods that you can bind keys to would be quite trivial. I would suggest doing it on the basetexteditor level. What other IDEs or Editors do have specialised methods for that, and what are the default keybindings?

Re: [Qt-creator] Navigating inside Editor question or suggestion
Chris, the IDEs you mention seem to satisfy your needs much better than Qt Creator, may I ask why you are interested in Qt Creator at all? I mean, if you prefer string based completion over semantical completion, Qt Creator clearly isn't the tool for you. Creator is all about understanding C++, and that is the direction it will continue to move into.

Re: [Qt-creator] Navigating inside Editor question or suggestion
Visual Studio uses Ctrl-F3 to find the next occurrence of the word under the cursor, and F3 to find the next after that. That is to say, Ctrl+F3 is search for next occurrence of current word; F3 is find again no matter how you started the search. In vim, shift+8 is find next occurrence of current word and shift+3 is find previous occurrence of current word. In both cases you can use n to continue or use the same keystroke. (Apparently the mnemonic is that it's * and # like on a phone. Other than that it seems a bit senseless.) /s/ Adam ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
[Qt-creator] Navigating inside Editor question or suggestion
Hi, inside Qt Creator I miss the feature of jumping to the next/previous occurrence of the word under the cursor. Is this already possible with Qt Creator? I'm programming since 17 years now and am used to have a simple shortcut to jump directly to the next occurrence of the current word - e.g. by just pressing Alt+',' or Alt+'.'. Anybody suggesting me to use Ctrl+F should consider that the search doesn't work with just one keystroke - you have to select the word, then press Ctrl+F, then Enter to start the search and then you have to use (Shift+)F3 to go forward/backward. Further I'm really disappointed about how F2 and F4 works - F2 seems to have serious problems to find the occurrences of methods (or I just don't know how to use it) and F4 cannot switch between method declaration (.h file) and implementation (.cpp) correctly - it often jumps just to the file, not to the correct position. ciao, Chris PS: I'm seriously interested to write own plugins for Qt Creator - especially a plugin to add more editor functions and shortcuts. Where could I start or: Is there a HowTo or a documentation how to write plugins for creator? ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
