Did you know... Behold the power of incremental search - #001

Incremental Search Mouse Pointers 

I didn't know about incremental search until someone showed me.  Now I can't live without it. 

  1. Press Ctrl+I
  2. Start typing the text you are searching for.  note: you'll see the cursor jump to the first match, highlighting the current search string.
  3. Press Ctrl+I again to jump to the next occurrence of the search string
  4. (advanced tip) Press Ctrl+Shift+I to search backwards
  5. To stop searching, press ESC

Cool tip.  I've used this feature in Vim for a long time.  It's proven itself very useful many times.  It is something I miss when I program in visual studio.

Visual Studio 2008 ワンポイント said:

他の人に教えられるまでインクリメンタル検索を知りませんでした。今ではこれなしでは生きていけません。 Ctrl + I キーを押します。 検索文字列の入力を始めると、最初に一致したテキストにカーソルが移動して、現在の検索文字列が強調表示されます。
