Unfortunately that won't work as-is since the normal editor keybindings aren't triggered when the Search dialog has focus, which it gets when opened with Ctrl+F and keeps event after the Search dialog is activated to find a match with the Enter key. To use it, you'd have to re-focus the main window with Alt+Tab or whatever the environment uses for switching between top-level windows.

For "Find Next" from the Search dialog, you could just keep hitting Enter and it will find the next matches, for "Find Previous", you could use Shift+Enter and it will do the same but backwards (same bindings as the toolbar find entry).

The mnemonics, as James mentioned, are also usable and will trigger the actual _Next and _Previous GUI buttons inside the dialog. The search dialogs have mnemonic key bindings for most selectable GUI elements. I believe some environments don't show the mnemonic bindings by default, but pressing the Alt key should reveal them.

Cheers,
Matthew Brush

can i then search for the next/last matching words in the file without

would like to do the search only with keyboard.


Press Alt-N after you’ve typed your search query. At least, that works for
me (on Linux).
