It seems that Find Selected Text and the corresponding key binding is

that I really miss (and I can't convince my left hand to stop trying
to use it)!

Find Selected Text where? In project? In documentation? In API ref? They are all in the menus and you can create key bindings for any of them. m.

I think he wants to search for the selected text in the same file. "Find selected text" (which did that) doesn't exist anymore. It's now "Find selected text in project." It seems like a weird thing to take away. More often than not I don't want to search for the selection in the entire project like Xc3 wants me to, I just want to search in the current file.


I've been trying to get used to doing cmd-E, cmd-G instead but I keep trying to do things the old way too, which for me was accessing "Find selected text" from the contextual menu. Ah well.

Yes, that's exactly it. I'm also trying to do the cmd-E, cmd-G thing, but years of muscle memory is making it difficult. :)


I find it incredible that they would remove such a basic feature of any text editor! Any hope we can get it back?
