I have changed this on a local copy of 1.34 and it works fine - just one function, search_show_find_dialog  had to be changed in Search.c <br>
You can leave the search widget open and highlight the next text to find. It transfers to the widget when you click find again without having to close the widget. <br>
Modified file attached if anyone wants it.<br>
I only implemented it in the basic find, not in find-replace nor find-in-files although it looks like the changes would transcribe quite easily.<br>
<br>
Compiling for Linux was straightforward and I did manage to make a windows installer using the help on https://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/msys2<br>
That was not so straighforward !<br>
Has anyone made the  &quot;Automated build via MAKEPKG file&quot; yet ?<br>
<br>
The only problem that I have with only the windows build is that it crashes on help-about. Everything else looks fine.<br>
Does anyone have an idea why ? Does windows require something extra for that?<br>
<br>
