Description Dominik Wezel CLA 2015-04-04 10:44:13 EDT
I've been doing a lot of work in the Console recently, analyzing log output.  So I also have to find a lot of text, say class names, mostly several times in the log to see where something happens to the named class intance.

While used to quickly find text in Java files with ^K (control-K) and ^'K (control-shift-K), I found it very cumbersome to always stay in the find dialog because there is no other way here to find next instances back and forth, even more so because the bulky dialog exactly covers the result in 3 of 4 cases, since these names may appear anywhere on a log entry line, and the lines exceed the page width in 1 of 3 times.

I strongly vote for copying the ^K/^'K search functionality of Java editors also to the Console.

Thanks for considering

Agree, ctrl+k is more convenient
