Is there any way to a get a popup find/replace dialog in an SQL Editor in SQL Developer? (curently using 21.2.1.204 on windows and oracle linux)
I use SQL Developer every day and don't find the Ctrl+R search/replace panel very easy to use when trying to use the keyboard to navigate for replace or replace all.
Scenario 1
SQL Developer Editor-
Search/replace panel is shown
Find text contains text at editor cursor (nice)
Cursor focus is in replace text box
Press shift + tab 4 times to get the focus back into the find text box,
Type my find text
press tab key 4 times to get the cursor focus back in the replace text box
Type my replace text
Press tab key then enter key to replace.
or press tab key 3 times to replace all
Compared with linux gedit-
Ctrl+R
Find/Replace Dialog is shown
Cursor focus is in Find box, type my find text
Press tab key
Type my replace text
press enter key or Alt+F to find (then and alt+r to replace)
or press Alt+A to replace all
Compared to most windows text editors-
Ctrl+R (or ctrl+h depending on app)
Cursor focus is in the find box, type my find text
Press tab key
Type my replace text
press Enter key to find first occurance
or press Alt+A to replace all
I can continue to use the mouse for this, but prefer keyboard. shortcuts.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
