What is the “standard” key for this? If there is none, I'll probably use cmd-option-f.
- "Find the selection" action, with keyboard accelerator. (Yes, it can be macroed, but why should I have to macro such an important action?)
Seeing how several has expected to find this on cmd-h (which is Hide according to AHIG), it really should be done as a macro!
It's really only grouping cmd-e and cmd-g into one key.
- Scroll the text to keep the cursor in the "hot zone" when possible. E.g., if you have to scroll to make the result of a search visible, scroll enough to put the new selection in the middle of the screen. Repeated find-nexts though large files always seem to end up for me with the selection on the bottom-most line, with no context visible. Yuck!
I choose bottom deliberately, seeing how it's easier to locate, and it always work (i.e. when finding something in the last 20-40 lines, it wouldn't be able to center it.
But I may change it -- visually highlighting the current line may help in that decision.
