Re: [Texmacs-dev] Shortcut for "Find next match"

[Jan Lellmann]

I think the best option would be to have "search"/"search/replace" dialogs. 
There one could implement all kinds of useful features, like "search 
backwards" and "case sensitive" checkbox, "previous match" button, regular 
expressions mode etc. This seems to be the quasi-standard now under all 
OSes, and the current Texmacs implementation is really annoying for anything 
else but searching for simple terms that only occur once. For long 
documents, I always close the document and do the search/replace in a plain 
text editor on the .tm file.
