FindBar: Edit box loses focus after Enter pressed…

[Deipotent]

If you enter a search term in the FindBar editbox and press Enter, the focus switches to the editor area, so that if you wish to press Enter again to search for the next occurrence, you just end up deleting the matched text in the document and inserting a newline.

As I guess some people might like the current behaviour, can you add a toggle button to the FindBar which allows you to choose whether you want the FindBar editbox to keep focus after Enter is pressed.

Also, is there a keyboard shortcut you can press when the FindBar editbox has the focus, and you wish to switch focus back to the document ?

If not, can you add one please.

There are timse I prefer using the keyboard for navigation and control.

Please right-click on the FindBar button on the Plug-in toolbar, and select Properties on the menu. (You can also bring this from the Customize Plug-ins dialog, and double-click FindBar in the list). You will see Switch to View after Searched check box. You can uncheck this check box.

Thanks!
