Well,
EVERY other EDITOR on the PLANET, at least HIGH-LIGHTS the replace field, so you can very quickly over type it....
MS Studio, NOTEPAD, NotePad++, Word, Outlook, PSPAD, ECLIPSE, IntelliJ IDEA, etc...
Just has always struck me as strange that LPEX does not work like every other FIND & REPLACE.
Very basic usage, which I would EXPECT automatically, but it is not there...
<frown>
When editing code, we very often have to scan & replace. So, using the keyboard, the first tab should go to the REPLACE field. Am I the only one that use other editors, and finds this troublesome?
Yes, I am force to do the following:
HIGHLIGHT
Ctrl+F10 (context Menu)
Selected
Find Selection
I guess I expect too much, that it should work like every other editor on the planet.
<rant>
Don't get me wrong, I love RDI, and promote it all the time. But, basic Find & replace should be very simple, and work like every other Programmer Editor.
PS. I do like the up & down areas to get the previous search. That is cool. But, when I high-light and control+F, that should be place in the find box!!!
Is this too hard to code it that?
Please name me ANY OTHER EDITOR that DOES NOT Use the HIGHLIGHTED field for FIND???? Did I miss one?

It does on v9.1.0
I would like for the "replace" text to get cleared when you change the "find"...

Was there a fix to the Control+F (Find) not find the highlighted Text like EVERY OTHER EDITOR on the PLANET?
I find this annoying, just like several co-workers of mine...
MS Studio, notepad, notepad++, PSPAD, etc... All work the same with Control+F...
It brings up the find dialog, with what is HIGHLIGHTED...
Of course, even Eclipse editor for JAVA works that way...
Did I miss the solution for this problem?

Yes, in 9.1, ctrl-f worked as you describe which at that time I found annoying. Now, I find it annoying that it DOES NOT do that anymore.

In prior versions, I set up a c-s-f User Action Key like Buck suggested.
In 9.1, I fairly certain CTRL-F worked out-of-the-box.
