Request: Search option on the command pad on the righthand side

[NewsArchive]

Hello Friedrich,

there is such an overwhelming possibility of commands, directives and whatnot,
that a little mind like me has problems to find the appropriate things. In the
IDE of Clarion 10 there have been integrated such tiny search fields with a
"Next Find"-button at its right. It would be nice if we could have search
search entry plus next-button. And the search doing a "contains", not from the
beginning. So I can search for "end" and also find "#end" and all others when
skipping with that next-search button.

So you would like an option to search, say, for "End" but it should *not*
find the "#end" directive? At the moment it is doing a "contains"
comparison (Previous = Script Up & Next = Script Down directions).

no no no no! I would like a "contains" search, so that I first find "end", then
"#end" and any other "*end*, which is in that list, when I press that
Next-button like in the Clarion 10-IDE.

There _is_ already a search????

To avoid misunderstandings: I mean that loooooong box at the righthand side.
Where all Commands etc are listed. There is an IF, an #ifcompvar, an END, an
#end etc. Sometime I do not know what I am looking for, like that "Service"
thingie I am working on. It is called "Edit Service...". I found it after my
third try, because I knew it had to be _somewhere_.

I hope that made more sense.

Yes, Lee, for the Script. I mean that pad some centimeters to teh right. To you
americans, centimeters are the decimal cousins of inches. <g>

My intention is to plow faster through that looooong list of Commands.

Just like the pads in the Clarion 10-IDE have on top.

Wolfgang,

Ah, for that I use the Custom tab and all the functions I use
routinely are a lot easier to find, but I understand what you're
looking for now.
