One of the best things about the emacs-style ^S incremental search is 
exactly that the "find" and "find next" are the same key combination 
(perhaps the way to think of it is "find the current incremental-search 
target"). TM1 did this, as does (sorry) BBedit, and I note that Safari 
has the same paradigm, albeit usingΩ ⌘F.

I don't know about other TM users, but this is far and away my most 
common use of any "find" feature.

So I would like to make a feature request that this be re-instated in 
TM2, even if not using ^S.

Thanks!

Andrew
