When you open the scripts editor, click with ur mouse on any word or piece of text, then click on the "Find Text" button. You will notice that the word that u clicked is shown there. So if ur looking for a specific word, and u wanna like scroll through ur scripts, whenever u click on anything, it will change the word u wanna change for, the most annoying thing, cuz when u wanna scrol, u first need to click on the active window..which is the scripts editor.

Thats the most annoying thing...like i can only not make the text in that find text box change if click on a blank line... So u always got to go look for a blank line if u don't want the search text to be changed...bah. In other words, if u are facing a script, that has like a lot of text, then you will have to maximize the scripts editor, solely to find a blank line, or else u will lose ur search term, wich u will have to enter again. Imagine you are looking for stuff in a +2000 lines script...as is the case right here. Or for example: u want to change an identifier which is used a lot in ur script. YOu will have to search for those identifiers, but each time u make a change, like whatever if it is copy/pasting, or clicking then ur search term dissappears...that sux Well thanks for the reply, ill live with it i guess, though i dont see how its a good feature...

So, you open the Find dialog, enter a pattern, click on "Find Next" and then hit F3 subsequently to browse through all matches. You can even move randomly, by putting the cursor anywhere with your mouse and hitting F3. /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com

Thank you for your replies, I'm going to shut up now. Greetz Gone.
