Quick update from upstream to confirm that this is a change in behavior from previous versions as the reporter states in that within previous versions, Ctrl+F would open the Find (and Replace) dialog while now Ctrl+F opens the quick search input area. The two behave differently when the enter key is pressed. Previously, quick search was Ctrl+K. The Find and Replace dialog is now by default, Ctrl+H.
So, the previous behavior can be restored by changing the keyboard shortcuts so that Ctrl+F opens the Find and Replace dialog. Pressing enter multiple times in this dialog cycles through matches in the document. To change the keyboard shortcut, users may either: (1) Download and install the plugin at https://github.com/nacho/gedit-accel-editor enable it via Edit->Preferences->Plugins->Edit Shortcuts and then change (and view) shortcuts via the Tools->Edit Shortcuts menu. (2) Enable the "can-change-accels" key in org.gnome.desktop.interface with dconf-editor. Then with Search->Replace highlighted in the menu, press Ctrl+F to make this the new shortcut. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858338 Title: gedit should 'find next' when I press enter in find To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/858338/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
