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
