I thought that Ctrl+F3 is not working in Lister until I discovered in help that it reverses search direction. I've got used to find word under cursor with this shortcut in my IDE. So:
1. Lister menu contains "Find" and "Find next" commands. I would suggest to add "Find previous" and "Reverse search direction" commands as well. Very few people read whole manual before using program
2. Please implement "Find word under cursor" command (and add it to menu ). This command should find next occurrence of the word under cursor without displaying Find dialog.
"Reverse search direction" will be confusing without a visual indicator of the current search direction and will produce unacceptable bloat with such indicator.
"Find word under cursor" can be emulated in the internal lister with double click (selects the word) and F7 (searches for the selected text). I do not think any further shortcuts are necessary.
As for people who do not read help, I must say that 99.9% of all programs puzzle me with Help that is arranged so that it is hard to read it in any logical order from the beginning and to the end. I guess a linearly readable PDF variant of the TC help will be welcomed by a significant number of new users.
Personally I don't understand why "Reverse search direction" is needed at all. Usually F3 searches for next occurrence and Shift+F3 for previous. I would suggest to remove reversing at all as confusing. But maybe someone uses it so I suggested at least to make it visible in menu. Since I'm already aware of it, I don't care of this that much.
"double click (selects the word) and F7" - is too inconvenient (have to find mouse when your hands are on the keyboard, or bother with selecting whole word).
Christian, is it possible to add new command? Shortcuts can be added by interested users themselves.
Yes, "double click (selects the word) and F7" is not for intense
use, but I guess the problem is not the absence of a "find word under cursor" command, but the absence of a "select word" shortcut (and the next poster is likely to mention some other Vim/Emacs glory) in the default lister.
