Repeated text search in a Workspace

Nicola Mingotti
Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible in Squeak 5.2 to repeat a text search multiple times in a Workspace.

Example. To search 'string' I do Ctrl+f, then I type 'string', then I press return. The first occurrence of 'string' is found and highlighted. But now, how can I go on and get the other matches in the page ? Is there a shortcut for that ?

I saw that if I re-do Ctrl+f and re-type 'string' I get what i want but that is too much impractical to be a good method.

bye
Nicola

Ctrl+g will repeat the search, so you can use Ctrl+f to do the "find"
followed by Ctrl+g for "find next" as many times as you want.
