I have a feature request: Every other programmer's editor works so that when you first select a word and press Ctrl+F3, then pressing just F3 does the search again.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
That behavior is really annoying. I can change shortcut mapper for volatil search and set it to F3. But it doesn't resolve the problem - the majority of editors uses the same behavior: once ctrl+f3 is pressed while some text is selected - that text can be searched again using f3 no matter something is selected or not.
Mb it would be easy to add some option to support both behavior (both Notepadd++ and _default_ one)?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'd also appreciate if the Ctrl+F3-Search would remember what to search.
And I suppose, steakhacher did misunderstand the question.
Let me explain it:
If I want to search all appearances of e.g. "$userdata" I mark it and use Ctrl+F3.
Notepad++ then finds the next appearance of $userdata.
Them I go to the line above to this line with $userdata do edit my code.
After having edited my code I want to search for the next appearance of $userdata.
How to do it without going back to the place where it was found last in order to mark it to bo able to perform the Ctrl+F3-Search once more?
I'd see 2 ways to do it:
1.
F3 always repeats the last search irrespective of its kind - the Ctrl+F or the Ctrl+F3 and not only the last Ctrl-F-Search (like e.g. wscite does)
or
2.
there is another shortkey to perform the last Ctrl+F3-Search even if the last searched text isn't marked.
It could be Ctrl+F3 too, because now it is unused if there is no marked text. This would be a smart solution: if there is marked text, Ctrl+F3 searches for the next appearance of the marked text and if there is no marked text, Ctrl+F3 searches for the text beeing marked last.
Do you see any chance to get this feature?

I am not sure that it is the best to change it in notepad++ but you can change shortcut mapper for volatil search and set it to F3

Yes it is. I have misunderstand the remark, and I agree with you.
But I don't want the regular F3 to change the search to the selected text. Only Ctrl+F3 should do it. All other editors work this way.
