Kudos for Fixing F3!
Hear ye, hear ye!
IDM actually listens to its customers!
As I was working a couple of nights ago, I received an upgrade notice about Version 21.10.0.1026 of UltraEdit, which followed Version 21.10.0.1023 by only a few days (one day last week, I think). The change log contains just two entries, the first of which is "Make F3 work with Quick Find."
I wasted no time installing and testing the update, and it's a huge improvement. After I installed Version 21.10.0.1023, I quickly decided that Quick Find was more annoyance than useful feature. For a power user's editor, it felt like UltraEdit had taken a fairly large step backwards.
This single change made Quick Find usable, and occasionally even useful. Nevertheless, l use the full featured Find dialog box most of the time, because I need the advanced features more often than not. In particular, I use regular expressions often, and I have a growing list of favorite find and replace expressions, most of which involve regular expressions, with backreferences in many of the associated favorite replacements.
Maybe I should write a tutorial on that subject, if there is any serious interest.
