F3 is not working when Find Edit control has focus

Post by I-Vladimir »

Hi,
Not sure if that is a bug. I entered something to find and hit enter. It found, but Find toolbar edit control has focus, so I have to click on the document body and then F3.

Thanks,
Vladimir

I don't think it is a bug either. If you want to close the Find toolbar to return focus to the document you can use Alt F4.

My Find toolbar is locked. Find Edit control is on the toolbar. Alt F4 just closes the doc.
But anyway, I wouldn't want to use any extra key to continue the search.

I just noticed that you can use the enter key to find next, so this is even better than Adobe and Foxit.

Not only can you find the next occurence of the current search term with a single keystroke, you can also type another term without first pressing Control F to shift focus back to the search field.

The search string is already highlighted too, so you just type the new term.
