Did you know... Ctrl+F3 searches for the currently-selected string without brining up the find window? - #070

Just select some text (or just have the cursor on the word you wish to search for) and press Ctrl+F3.  Ctrl+Shift+F3 will do a reverse search.

CtrlF3

Note that a Ctrl+F3 search uses the following options: 

  • is case sensitive
  • searches hidden text
  • allows for partial matching
  • does not use regular expressions
