Feature Loss? Find Direction alt-key removed? why?!

Kevin Hexemer

There have been a lot of changes in the last several roll outs to the FIND / REPLACE window… one of them was changing the search direction to “Backward Direction”.

I don’t care that the name changed, but why is there no alt key for toggling the backward direction radio button? I was using it all the time :(

Can we add that in please?

You can do it yourself. Here’s how:

Edit the english_customizable.xml file
Find the text Backward direction in that file
Change that text to be Backward &direction (suggestion if you like Alt-d as a shortcut)
Save the file
In the Preferences, General section, set Localization to “English (customizable)”
