Feature request: 'Find next' on pressing enter #36
Hi.
I'm not sure that this behavior is the right thing to do. To move between matches there are F3 and Shift+F3 hotkeys and when you press Enter it is more logical to pass the focus back to the edited file. This will allow you to edit matches using the keyboard only, without distracting the mouse.
Pressing 'enter' to search the next term is consistent with most other applications (libreoffice writer, firefox, & gnome-text-editor are examples I've just now tested).
You do raise a good point, about avoiding the mouse where possible. Are the F3 and Ctrl+F3 shortcuts implemented? On my install (version 2024-09, linux), they do nothing. I was also unable to find any tooltips or menus that reference these shortcuts.
I made a mistake, not Ctrl+F3, but Shift+F3. And it worked always, I didn't change anything in this place, but there may be differences depending on OS.
Making a list of hotkeys is a good idea, I'll have to look into that. As well as adding a mention of hotkeys in tooltips.

In the experimental branch, I modified the tooltips to include a hotkey reminder.
