Build ID: I20090605-1444 Steps To Reproduce: 1. Do a search for some text so that multiple results are found. 2. Try to navigate to the next match when the source window has focus. More information: I frequently need to search for and fix problems in our code. For example, I might discover that most uses of Foo.bar() have a common problem of not checking for a null return. I will use Ctrl-Shift-G to get a list of all uses of the offending code, and then I will edit the text on a case by case basis to fix any problem that I find. It's extremely tedious to use the mouse to step to the next case, then focus back on the text window to make any edits. I want to leave focus in the text window, but use a keyboard shortcut to jump to the next match in the search window. I do not want to have to Ctrl-F7 followed by Ctrl-. and Enter to get to the next result. It's actually easier to use the mouse than that. I want a single keystroke that will walk the list of search results (or errors), but keeps the focus in the code window. If it gets your competitive juices flowing, this is something that Visual Studio can do that Eclipse can't.
If you enable Search annotations to be part of next/previous navigation (General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations) then you can navigate inside the editor but once you want to jump to the next file you have to go to the Search view again. This is not something we will change.
Reopening to assign to correct component.
