Incremental search for Eclipse version

[elucify]

PLEEEASE enable incremental search in the Eclipse plugin! Or, at least, give us an option other than that horrible dialog. I'm a programmer: I don't want to have to take my hands away from the keyboard to have to click radio buttons on a search dialog. I regularly use search (in emacs) to position my cursor on the same line (^s{ gets you to the beginning of the next block, for example). The dialog makes that sort of interaction more trouble than it's worth. So it's ^f^f^f^f^f^f for me...

Or at the very least, please provide key mappings for the buttons on the (ugh) search dialog so I can "find/find next" without having to mess with the mouse!

Thanks!

Hello,

I do not understand. Incremental search with all other search options (wrap search, regular expression, etc.) is available in the editors of the oXygen plugin for Eclipse (Oxygen XML Editor, Oxygen XSD Editor, etc.) in both the text page and the grid page of an editor. Can you give an example of incremental search not working in an editor of the oXygen plugin? For Find Next / Find Previous use Ctrl+K / Ctrl+Shift+K.

Plugin version: 8.2.0
Platform: OS X 10.4.10 (Mac Pro Intel)
Input mode: emacs compat
Eclipse version: 3.2.2

Incremental find shows up in the Eclipse "General/Keys" preferences; ^S for forward, ^R for reverse. Except it doesn't work--Oxygen simply ignores those keystrokes. If I get out of Emacs mode, it ignores ^K, ^Shift-K instead.

I tried with the same oXygen plugin version on the same Mac OS X version and the incremental find and the Find Next/Find Previous shortcuts (^K and ^Shift-K) worked correctly both with the Default scheme and the emacs scheme set in Window -> Preferences -> General -> Key, the Modify tab. It seems there is a different option set in your Eclipse 3.2.2 with which the search actions do not work correctly but I think normally there are no other options which should have an impact on these actions. Can you send us the file with your Eclipse preferences?
