when you press CTRL+F to open the find box while the cursor is on a word, that word it automatically placed as the search string. can this be turned off?
Also, I see a checkbox "wrap around" in the find box but I don't see what it's for. Can someone explain this too, please?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The text should be selected, so if you just start typing the word or phrase you want to look for, the selected text will be replaced. This also applies to pasting the clipboard contents with ctrl-V.
In other words, there's no need to turn it off, and it is nice to have when you do want to use the current word as the word to find.
The "wrap around" option allows you to search the whole document, starting at the current cursor position and "wrapping around" to the top of the file after the search reaches the bottom. It will stop when it gets back to the current cursor position if it doesn't find any matches.
Repeated presses of F3 (repeat find) will not stop at the end of the file if this setting is checked.
