[Github-comments] [geany] Find popup does not update with new highlighted text without closing and reopening it. (#758)

[elextr]

@dmap-guru thats sounds like a better proposal, if something is selected when the find dialog is re-activated then the new selection is used for the search text, rather than setting the search text any time there is a selection made with the dialog open.

I'm not sure it should be tied to the existing setting, since on re-activation it does not "use the word under the cursor" but a "Replace search text with selection on dialog activation" or some such setting would describe it better.  Then again it may not need a setting since you must leave something selected on re-activation to trigger it.  And it probably could also work on find-next, find-previous as well.

By the way @codebrainz  pointed out on IRC that there are existing "Find next/previous selection" menu items, and although they are not bound to keys by default, you can do so. I am not sure how much of the original posters use-case that covers but it would seem to do a lot of it.
