ISearchForward

Key: Shift+Ctrl+S
Menu: Search > ISearch >

Incremental (or interactive) searching finds the search string as it is typed in. TDE's isearch is based on Emacs. The default keys are Shift+Ctrl+S for forward searching and Shift+Ctrl+R for backward; however, within isearch, Ctrl+S and Ctrl+R can be used. Pressing these keys again will immediately start a search with the previous find string (not necessarily isearch); otherwise they will continue the search with the current string. LineUp and LineDown will cycle through the find history. BackSpace can be used to remove entered characters, returning to the previous position. CopyWord, WordRight, WordEndRight and Ctrl+W will append the remainder of the word to the search string; likewise with the String functions and Shift+Ctrl+W. If no search string has been entered, the complete word or string will be copied. ToggleSearchCase will do the obvious. Esc will stop the search at the current position; AbortCommand and Ctrl+G will restore the original position before the search was started. Enter/Rturn will stop the search when entering characters or using the ISearch functions to continue it; otherwise the search will be continued. The previous position is set to the original position, not to the last matching instance; if aborted, it is set to the aborted position.
