Really looking forward to that feature! :) Maybe a checkbox connected with that search field widget (indicating search direction), where the key combo would check the checkbox before making the field active?
Maybe, not sure yet.
I would suggest to use a separate search button. One button for usual forward and one for backward search. Maybe the buttons could be put horizontal splitted. But we shouldn't talk about minor GUI stuff until the feature isn't implemented at all ;-).
- Alt-{PgUp,PgDn} -- scroll back and forward through editor tabs
(seems to follow nicely with the other Alt key commands, right?).
I don't like that. Users are used to Ctrl-{PgUp,PgDn} e.g. in browsers.
I agree.
- Alt-{Home,End} -- Go to first tab (like Alt-1), and last tab
(Alt-0)? Just an idea here, but these two combos seem to just flow nicely from the rest of the Alt keys dealing with the GUI. Also, Enrico, you noted that someone once mentioned that numbers keys aren't always easy to hit on some keyboards, so maybe Alt-{Home,End} would be easier than Alt-{1,0} for some users?
I'm thinking of adding something like that, that's easier to type than the number keys.
Yes sounds good. Alt-{Home,End} are currently used by Scintilla for "Go to start/end of display line." but I guess we could drop this binding without replacement(IMO).
