The "Find Previous" shortcut key (shift-cmd-G) doesn’t do anything if the Find dialog's Where popup is set to "here to end". Likewise, the "Find Next" shortcut key (cmd-G) doesn’t do anything if the Find dialog's Where popup is set to "here to start". I think it would make more sense for the shortcut key to override the Where setting.

In fact, it makes sense to leave both the Previous and Next buttons in the Find dialog active (undimmed) regardless of the state of the Where popup, since the user obviously wants to go backward or forward, respectively, when he clicks these buttons. The Where setting really should affect only the Find All and Replace All actions.

Making these changes would enhance the power of the cmd-E shortcut by permitting finds without opening the Find dialog at all.

I agree.


In many ways I am glad NWE doesn't pop up a tip of the day when you load it, but when ever someone points out a little thing like shift-cmd-g i almost always find a tool I didn't know existed.....

Loads of things on the Mac work that way: cmd+whatever is reversed by shift+cmd+whatever. So cmd+tab cycles through open apps from left to right. shift+cmd+tab goes right to left.

The coolest trick in OS X, though, is ctrl+t. If you type "teh" and stick the cursor between the "e" and the "h" and hit ctrl+t, the letter will be switched.

cool on the tab

I knew about cntrl-t it is another reason why macs are my favorite computers -- again
