String Searching


You can search for the occurrence of a string within the source code browser by entering the string in the search box that is brought up by either the CTRL-F keystroke or the Search->Find menu item. Use the Look Up and Look down icons to search in either direction from the current location. No change is made to the cursor editing position until you left-click in the file.

You may also start a Hyper Grep search. Refer to Using Hyper Grep to Find Things for more information on using Hyper Grep.

String Search and Replacing

You can also Search and Replace any occurrence of a string within a file, a selection in that file, or among all open files.

Launch with CTRL-E, or via Search->Replace.

Go To Line...

You may also go to a specific line number by choosing Search->Go To Line and specifying the line number.

Line Numbers

By default line numbers are shown in files being edited. This can be turned off via the File tab of the Options->Preferences dialog. Line number color may also be specified in the Syntax Colors of the Options->Preferences dialog.

Selecting and Copy Text

Text can be selected (marked) then cut or copied into the Windows (or X11) clipboard. Marking text works as for the standard for the window system in use. For Windows dragging while holding down the left mouse marks text. Alternately one can hold down the Shift key and move the cursor (via arrows or other cursor movement keys). Once text is marked the commands that can be done are shown under the "Edit" menu or on the right click menu occurring when right clicking on the marked text itself.

You may also copy the selected text by using Edit->Copy Selection on the Browser's toolbar.
