    Hello
    Have a request that would make this killerapp complete. If you in Windows Explorer open a flder containing a lot of files you can type on the keybord to find the file.

    Say that you want to find a file called _cart.asp. In Windows Explorer you can then type "_" + "c" and the file matching this will be highlighted/selected.

    If I do the same in Notepad++ the first file that beginns with a "c" gets selected.

    is this something that can be fixed? Would make the browsing for files in Notepad++ much faster. If this explanation was too fuzyy just let me know and I'll give it anither try :)

      No, I understand your explanation. But this is heavier to implement than the current implementation. If you search for a file, press the "c" more than one times. You will get next, and the next after this, and the next after the next file, and so on.

      Maybe I decide me to implement this in a later version. But if you would like to implement it, fell free to contact me, or visit the new side on sourceforge for all my plugins to get the sources. There is only one problem. At the moment there are no sources available, because this side was today lunched.

      Official announcement for my new side will be posted on "Plugin Development".

      Best Regards
