Search location for selection/default

Post by crtrubshaw »

Hi Rickard, when you have a current selection in the document, can you make the find/replace location automatically be "In selection"? Also, might it be possible to set a default search location (when no selection available) - perhaps as a user option? If not set then use the last used location.

What do you think of these suggestions?

Thanks 8)

This is how it works already. I've tried with both the modal search window and the search bar.
It may be option dependent though. There are several search options that may change the behavior.

Right you are, I selected the option "Never use selection as search string" (radio button) and it works as expected.

Thanks!
