Find next across files
« on: January 17, 2023, 08:34:11 PM »
Hello,
I am trying to replicate a feature that I used in UE that stores the text or item you are searching for in a buffer so that when you switch files an F3 continues looking using the same criteria.  When writing/debugging VHDL it is helpful because it allows you to follow the signal throughout the design.  Currently I can F3 in the file I am currently searching, but if I switch files it acts like it is switching to a separate buffer.  Anyone know how to enable this in SE?

Thanks,

A few questions may shed some light on the subject:
  • What version of SlickEdit are you using?
  • What emulation are you using?
  • What type files are these?  I assume they have a .vhd or .vhdl extension, correct?

Hi Dan,
I am using the latest Slickedit version with an eclipse emulation.  Yes these are .vhd files.

If you go to Help>What is Key... and press the F3 key, what command name does it say at the bottom of the editor?

Ahh I found it.  F3 had two mappings, quick search and find-next.  Find-next is what I was after.

Was one of the bindings was for a specific mode?  Glad you got it worked out.

Yeah it seems the quick search was attached to vhd so that was probably overriding the call
