Dear export,
I'm sorry I can't described exactly, let me use an example.
1. I want to look for a character string ,I usually I use " ctrl+f", but I have to use "ctrl+f" for each time, that because the " find" window will disappear after find the words .
2. when I found a word I need, I could not click my mouse, if I clicked, the "word" would not display anymore. he would disappear too , and how to set the "background color" that can display it outstandingly in text (the default is black).
3. there is a "find" window on the top, at right, can I add some buttons used as looking for " previous" or "nest" words?
Thank you.
With regards.

Maybe you have the 'Always wrap search and hide the Find dialog' pref set, this makes the dialog disappear on clicking 'Next'.

I don't understand, but maybe you edited some highlighting colors in the configuration files? What version of Geany do you have? What filetype were you using?
- there is a "find" window on the top, at right, can I add some buttons
used as looking for " previous" or "nest" words?
No, the button just finds the next match. You can use the 'Search->Find Previous' menu or keybinding command though.

Hi Nick,
Thank you!
I have found 'Always wrap search and hide the Find dialog' in " Edit--Preferences", when don't use this function, I think everything is normal now.
when " Mark" the words in "find" window, words can be displayed in a different color, but it can not find words in "wrap" anymore. that's not necessary, for me that's enough now.
the version of Geany I use is 0.17, if you were the designer, I have a suggestion that add a function for "find" , because when use "find" windows for finding previous words, the "find" window is always in the front, I can not see those words in the back of it, and I think add some functions or buttons for the "find" window which on the top maybe more convenience for users. just a suggestion.
Thank you.
With Regards.

Not sure what you mean, long lines off the screen or wrapped lines are both highlighted for me when using the mark command.

Sorry, I don't really understand what you want here. Some kind of function to move the window? Or hide it temporarily?

Hi Nick,
Thank you . You are the designer! I'm so lucky, I'm sorry for my bad English, here is a picture in attachment , maybe I can express my meanings more exactly use it.
When I look for a word use " ctrl+f" , widow "2 "will work, but window "2" is a bit big, the words which in the back of it would not been seen, yes, I know I can move that widow by myself, so, I think why not add a button in other "find" window which on the top ----- window -- " 1 ", then when looking for the "next word " or " Previous word" will save time, and for users the text will not be hidden by other windows. Can you understand what I said ? ;-) just a suggestion.
Thanks for all designers.
With regards.

Ah OK, maybe we could add 'Find next/previous' buttons to the toolbar. (BTW the current Find button acts like 'Find next' already). But we might leave it hidden by default to save space, then users can edit the toolbars themselves to add it (e.g. turn off the find button, add the 'next/previous' buttons.

As a work around, you can use CTRL-G for find next, with the Find dialog closed.
e.g.
CTRL-F (opens find dialog) type in search term, click button, close dialog CTRL-G to find next word
I don't think there's a find previous key binding though. Also, the found word doesn't scroll into view when the line length is greater than the screen width, but pressing left arrow sorts that out.
Thank you Ross McKay,
yes, and " crtl+shift+g" will find the previous one, this can be set in " Keyblindings", It's my fault to ask a such boring question.

Nothing boring about it mate, there are times when I'd prefer to just click the buttons too. Thanks for the tip about find previous, it might come in handy (I generally search forwards, of CTRL-HOME to start over, but that's just habit).
Some products (word processors come to mind) move the find dialog around the screen so that it never covers the found words (but I find that even more annoying as you end up chasing the bloody dialog window around with the mouse!)
Hi Ross McKay,
yes, I see. You are very kind hearted. Thank you for your reply.
With regards.
