[feature request] enable/configure shortcuts in the "replace" window
camypaj opened this issue · 1 comments
Hello everyone,
I've had this problem for a while now, but can't seem to find the time to create a pull request for it..
* xed - Version 2.4.2
* Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia, but I've tested the latest as well, from a live usb, and it has the same behaviour
Issue
I know we already have a few bug reports which might seem similar (for example #455 , #496 , #462 , or #444 ).
I also know anything you do will break somebody's workflow :) here's the evidence but what I miss is to be able to use the search and replace using my keyboard only - it used to be possible in gedit, and not sure why it wasn't implemented in xed, since I don't see how it would impact someone negatively. It also doesn't seem like too much work, IMHO.
Feel free to close this if you feel it's a duplicate.
Steps to reproduce
ctrl+h, press and hold alt.
It hightlights the shortcuts, so there's a shortcut for the "search for", and "replace with" field, but not for the buttons on the right.
Expected behaviour
completing the search&replace with keyboard only, and not reverting to vim for that ;)
ctrl+h, using alt+s for search field, using alt+w for "replace with", and then having a keyboard shortcut for "replace", and "replace all" buttons
Other information
N/A
Thanks :)
not sure how to connect the PR with the issue, but this is (hopefully) addressed by this pull request
