I’m using Firefox. When I ctrl+f search, it doesn’t cover the whole editor. It ends at the bottom of the visible part of the page instead (ignoring what’s lower down that you have to scroll down for). This makes searching for things in the code very tedious. And I find I desire to search for things often.
What is you guys’ experience? Does it work properly on your browser? Is there any solution? Thanks!
Could you use another browser?
Another option is to copy the code and paste into a text editor, then
CRTL + f to search.
Happy coding
What browser does it work in?
I know about copy+pasting into an editor, but that’s rather tedious and I would like a more elegant solution. Thanks.
With your cursor active inside the code editor press F1 and then type “find”. There are other commands you can look at as well inside that menu
That works, thanks! It’s more work than ctrl+f, but better than the copy-paste method.
It is, but the list remembers your last commands so when you do it again it will (should) be at the top of the list. So you can just F1 and then arrow down. Well I guess you don’t even need to arrow down if it is the last command, just F1 and Enter.
I think there’s a menu that pops up as well if you just right click within the editor area. I recall it had some searching options.
