I've noticed the same thing, Chuck. I've forced myself into the habit of pressing command+shift+L after searching to highlight the current line and bring attention to the new cursor location.
Tyler, that's a nice tip. Thanks!
I do something similar with a "Select Nothing" macro:
moveRightAndModifySelection: (shift-right-arrow)) moveLeft: (left-arrow)
This simply deselects the region, leaving the cursor at the beginning of that region. I have this bound to the ESC key, since that's what I'm used to from other editors. I also make heavy use of column (block) selections, and it just feels awkward to make a stream selection, change it to a column selection, then modify the selected area. So I have a "Start Block Selection" macro bound to ^B which does the first two steps at once.
moveRightAndModifySelection: (shift-right-arrow)) toggleColumnSelection: (option)
