I often find myself wanting to achieve the "find all" functionality in Textmate without needing to use the mouse to point to this button. Of course when you do a ⇧⌘F the "find all" button is highlighted by default and you can simply type in your search phrase and hit enter. This is exactly what I would like from ⌘F (aka, scoped to a single document versus the project). Even if the "find all" button isn't the default it would be nice if there was some keyboard hotkey that allowed pressing this button without the hassle of having to move your mouse across and click the button.
Is there a way to do this? If not, could this be considered as a useful feature for a future release?

Hi!
I've just done a few tests, and "Next" in this case means "Find the next result", so I think the functionality is actually there... Try Cmd+F, enter a search term, and then hit enter.

As you state, ⌘F highlights the "Next" button so pressing enter does just that (aka, finds the next result). What I'm looking for is the behaviour that exists when you press ⇧⌘F which changes the focused button to "find all" so that when you press enter it shows all the matches to your search phrase. Make sense?

After pressing enter which dismisses the dialog, you're now back to your document with the current search criteria still defined. Press ⌥⌘F to apply that search criteria to the rest of the document.

What I think Ken's after would be for a keyboard shortcut to actually activate the find all button when you're on the find (in document) dialog – so you get the list of found items in the way you do for find all (in project).
As an example a ⌘F + ⌥⌘F sequence could perform a find all (in document) instead of performing the multi caret find all when the focus is still on the find dialog.
Kind regards, George.

Yes that is precisely what I'm looking for. Would be very useful for larger files.

Starting with next build I’ve made Edit → Find → Find All (⌥⌘F) activate the button when the dialog is showing (when it is not showing, it remains the action to select all matches of the current search string).
I like this feature, but just to clarify...I think the new functionality should only come into play when the Find dialog has focus, rather than merely showing.
Here is a use case that supports this:
I do a "Find all in project". This loads all matches in the find dialog. Then while editing a particular file, I may want to press (⌥⌘F) to select the instances in that file and edit them a certain way, while not losing the matches listed in the dialog for the other files. I may even select a portion of a file and thus (⌥⌘F) should only select the instances within the selection.
Thanks, Curt
