|
||
|

<p>
|

|
||
|
|
or phrase
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|

|

<p>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||

|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>

|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Having performed a search, you can quickly search for the next or previous
|
||
|
|
match without having to return to the Cthulhu Find dialog box.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Because it is a <link xref="howto_flat_review">Flat Review</link> feature,
|
||
|
|
when there is a match, Flat Review will automatically be activated and the
|
||
|
|
matching item or text will become the current review item. Note that focus
|
||
|
|
within the application will not be modified, nor will the caret be
|
||
|
|
repositioned. If you need to accomplish either, please see
|
||
|
|
<link xref="commands_mouse">Cthulhu's Mouse/Pointer-Related Commands</link>.
