Description open_me 2006-05-13 18:19:05 UTC 
Suggestion for a feature.

(1) press a key combination (e.g. control+shift+F if this is free)
(2) type the search phrase: OpenOffice jumps to the first place that matches
(3) I press control + G (or something similar) to jump to the next match
(control+shift+G to previous)
(4) once I click into the text, I'm back at editing.

This feature would thus be similar to the find-as-you-type in Mozilla, or also
the functionality offered by Canon Cat...

The current implementation of search differs in the following ways: (a) need to
use the mouse for the search dialogue, (b) no search as you type: possibly enter
much more than needed to get a match.

Sorry, this should be a feature request...
Comment 2 ingenstans 2006-05-14 11:09:48 UTC 
changed to an enhancement. Retitled to make clearer what is wanted. 

You don't have to use the mouse for the current (non-incremental) find -- press 
Ctrl-F; type the word you're after; hit return.

reassigend to requirements
Comment 5 froh 2009-05-06 08:08:03 UTC 
This is still open in current openoffice, isn't it?

can this orphaned request please be reassigned to the current version and be
considered for implementation?

I'd _love_ to have this for fast mouse-less navigation in larger documents.

Can add check box "Continuous search" to Find & Replace dialog window.
When unchecked: behavior as current.
When checked: focus returns to document after each find, Ctrl+F brings dialog window from background to foreground again.
