How do you stop the automatic "Find Again" on CTRL+F -- WDSCI-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Hi,

In WDSCi 5.1.0.1 when I edit an RPGLE member in LPEX editor 1.4.3 when 
press CTRL+F to find, it searches for the last string I searched for 
without offering me the opportunity to change it.  If the previous string 
was found, I am repositioned to a different location in my source member 
which can be very annoying.  CTRL+F should really only pop up the find 
box, but not do the same action as the Find Next (shift+F4).

>From here I am forced to  use the editor command / to search which is 
cumbersome, especially for subsequent searches (I have to press up arrow, 
then enter).

This may seem trivial but being a developer myself, it is somewhat 
confusing as to why there needs to be two methods of finding text in the 
member, and I know that our other developers will have issues with this 
because they lose their place in the code even before they have a chance 
to search.

Is there a way to tell the CTRL+F command not to search right away.  If I 
want to repeat a find, I will simply press Shift+F4.

Thanks,
Dean
