Incremental Search
Incremental search finds text as you type it.
- Press Ctrl+I to search forward, or Ctrl+Shift+I to search backward. You can also start incremental search from Edit > Advanced. The cursor changes to a pair of binoculars with an arrow that shows the search direction.
- Start typing the text you want to find. The editor highlights the first match. As you keep typing, it moves to the next match. If there are no more matches, the highlight stops moving.
While incremental search is active, these keys work:
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| Esc | Stops searching. |
| Backspace | Removes the last character from the search text. |
| Ctrl+Shift+I | Changes the search direction. |
| Ctrl+I | Moves to the next match. |
