Description Angel Abad 2010-03-01 23:07:27 UTC 
From Ubuntu Karmic tonywang86 reports:

It would be better to merge the "Find" and "Replace" functions. The "Replace" dialog already contains the find function, and "Find" is redundant.

When press Ctrl+F, the "Find & Replace" dialog should appear. This is more consistent with other text editors (e.g. openoffice word, spreadsheet, MS office word).

Just a suggestion. Gedit is a great editor. Thanks to developers!

Thanks!

The "find" entry is a search-as-you-type, or incremental search, while the search and replace applies the search only when you click on a button.

If you don't like the "find" with Ctrl+F, you can anyway always use the search and replace with Ctrl+H.
