Highlight search box after enter

[karhu]

Hello, my question is with regards to if it would be possible to customize how the search/find function works. I came from N++ and in that program once you press Enter to do a search the text within the search box becomes highlighted again. Meaning if I wanted to search the first occurrence of "2222" after the second occurrence of "1111" my order of operation in N++ would be: Ctrl+f - 1111 - Enter - Enter - 2222 - Enter. In CudaText, at least with default settings, after the second Enter I have to either Backspace, Ctrl+f again, UpArrow, or highlight with mouse double click.

Is there a setting I'm too dumb to find to make CudaText function in my preferred way?

Thank you for your time and effort maintaining this awesome program, cheers.

After thinking.
Sublime / VSCode find-dialog also don't do select-all after Find-action. Cud tries to mimic them more than it tries to mimic Notepad++. so I think we don't need this feature. option? we have too many options. better don't add an option.

You can press Ctrl+A in the find-input, to select-all-text there. It's the workaround.

I found the solution: I will add the plugin-API and will write small plugin for you, which will run select-all after Find/Rep buttons press. Pls wait.

Here is new windows x64 beta of CudaText and also zip file with tiny plugin:

Does it work for you?

The plugin solution makes sense for this. Unfortunately I'm running the Linux version through AUR (1.234.0.4) and as expected trying to install the plugin gives me warning saying I need a newer version. As someone who's new to Linux I feel most comfortable going through package manager so I'm unable at this time to install a beta version. Thank you for figuring out a solution, once the current beta releases I'll be sure to look up this plugin!

Note for future: I changed the plugin, deleted old github post.

here is new plugin 'Finder-Select-All' for cudatext 1.234.1 or newer.
On running Find-dialog FindFirst/FindNext/FindPrevious/Replace, plugin selects all text of the "find what" field, like in Notepad++.
if plugin works ok, you will see the string like 'selected all Find-dialog text (plugin)' in the Console panel. if something don't work, see Console - it may show red error text. show it to me.
