   Can you add Crimson-like search up and down?

   In Crimson, all i have to do is highlight a word, hit F3 to search up, and F4 to search down. A huge time saver.

   In the latest testing builds this is bound to (by default):

   Find next current word: Ctrl+F3
   Find prev current word: Ctrl+Shift+F3

   You can change these as you wish in the options dialog.

   But do i have to ctrl+f first to get that "current word"?

   I noticed some editors have the same F3/F4 features, but i had to do ctrl+f first. It would be a lot easier if we just highlight and F3/F4.

   Seriously though, please download Crimson editor and give it a test drive.
   http://www.crimsoneditor.com/download/cedt370r.exe

   You will see how ridiculously easy to find a word up and down. Double click on a word to highlight and F3 or F4 and BAM !!! u found a word.
   Wait, that word is assigned to a new word (new_word = old_word;) double click on the "new_word" and F3 and BAM !!! found another one.

   That had just saved me two times of ctrl+f. Now, that doesnt sound like a lot, but trust me, after hours of staring at someone else's code, you will know. (i believe you would agree with me on this one :) ).

   For example, i hate Visual Studio editor for the fact that i have to do ctrl+f every time i want to find a new word.

   PS: do not download Crimson editor 3.72 (supposedly the latest one). The new version is extremely buggy and not as responsive as 3.70 by it's orig developer (Ingyu Kang).

   Amazingly, in the Programmer's Notepad testing release I pointed you to it's also ridiculously easy to find a word up and down. Double click on a word to highlight and Ctrl-F3 or Ctrl-Shift-F3 and BAM !!! I found a word.

   Wait, that word is assigned to a new word (new_word = old_word;) double click on the "new_word" and Ctrl-F3 and BAM !!! found another one

   All you need to do is download the testing release, and you too can be amazed by this feature in Programmer's Notepad.

   ok, i've tried it. I like it when you select a word it highlights all matching words.

   AND i like that i can now customize F3/F4 (thanks... really great).

   Just one tiny prob though, i still have to do ctrl+f first on the word i am looking for. I cant just double click on the word and off i go.

   You need to change the shortcuts for F3 and F4 to Search : Find Next Current Word, and Search : Find Previous Current Word respectively, and this will then do it without Ctrl-F. I promise this works!
