### Searching

#### Find shortcuts

You may open the find window by using Alt-F, type in your search string and hit return to find it. In the default case the Find window searches for the search string in the Target window - the window right under the Find window.

When typing in the find string, you may need to enter a Tab or a Return character. These are normally mapped to switching to the next control and invoking the default command (Find in this case).

Win-Return | Insert return
Win-Tab | Insert Tab

To work around this standard mapping, Eddie lets you use Win-Return and Win-Tab respectively.

Find can be initiated with or without using the Find window, Eddie defines the common set of find shortcuts:

Alt-F | Open find window
Alt-E | Enter selection as find string
Alt-G | Find again
Alt-Shift-G | Find again reverse
Alt-H | Enter selection as find string and find
Alt-Shift-H | Enter selection as find string and find reverse

You may expand the Find window to get at the extra features. Currently you may use the Replace selected, which works like Replace All inside the current selection and you may select wether or not the Find window stays in front after you hit the Find button. More features will be added soon.

A pop-up menu with recent find strings lets you select from up to ten search strings you have searched in the past. These search strings get saved when Eddie quits and will be available the next time you run it.

You may toggle the different search options by using a keyboard shortcut without even bringing up the Find window.

Alt-Control-S | turn case sensitive search on or off
Alt-Control-W | turn whole word search on or off
Alt-Control-X | turn regular expression search on or off
Alt-Control-A | turn wrap around on or off
Alt-Control-F | turn keep find window in front on or off

#### Replace shortcuts

Alt-T | Replace and find
Alt-Win-E | Enter selection as replace string

### Quick Find

QuickFind works much like incremental search in Emacs and other editors.

Bring up the QuickFind Window by pressing Command-Option-F, starting the incremental search at the top of the document. Bring up the QuickFind Window by pressing Command-Control-F, starting the incremental search at the current position.

Alt-Win-F | Open QuickFind window, start searching from document top
Alt-Control-F | Open QuickFind window, start searching from current position

Bring up the QuickFind Window by pressing Command-Option-F, starting the incremental search at the top of the document. Bring up the QuickFind Window by pressing Command-Control-F, starting the incremental search at the current position. As you type in a search text, an instance of the text is interactively found in the target window. As you type in more characters, the search text becomes more accurate (this feature is also described as incremental search). Hitting the Next button will look for the next occurrence of the search string. If you delete the search text using Backspace the previous, less accurate find match will be selected.

To close the QuickFind window you may hit Esc, Alt-W or click anywhere outside the dialog.
