    I would like to be able to click an item in the search results then press the up or down arrow key and have Notepad++ automatically show the next/previous result in the code window. As it is now you have to double-click each search result item at a time, which gets tedious if searching a long list of search results.

    Thanks,
    Randy

      My N++ version does it - and much more (without even focusing on the search result pane). Just hit F4 or Shift+F4:

        Hi,

        Do you have a new version for 5.1.1 with your changes, i'm using your file from 5.0.3 and the features of the find in files are just great.

          Hi Avner,

          I answered your email a week ago.
          I wanted to wait until the problems with "find in files" which were introduced in 5.1 are resolved before I make my changes.
          In the meantime, it looks like Don has accepted my patch:

          https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2356387&group_id=95717&atid=612384

          So now I can start working on integrating my changes from 5.0.3 to 5.1.1 (It's not that trivial).
          Hope I'll have news soon.

      Sweet! This is such a time-saver!

      Another suggestion: if you close the search results window it would be cool if pressing F7 would reopen the window and show the previous search results.

      thanks,
      Randy

        Thanks for your support.
        Sounds like a good idea, I'll try to include that.
