Pentadactyl provides a Vim-like incremental find interface to
replace Firefox's crippled Typeahead Find. Among other improvements,
our find service:
-
Starts at the cursor position in the currently selected frame, unlike
Firefox, which always starts at the beginning of the first frame
for documents with more than one frame.
-
Returns the cursor and viewport to their original position on cancel.
-
Backtracks to the first successful match after pressing backspace,
unlike Firefox, which will always continue from the last match.
-
Supports reverse incremental find.
-
Escape sequences to toggle link-only and case-sensitive find.
Regular expression find, however, is not currently available unless the
/Find Bar/ service is installed, in which case it may be toggled on with
a find flag.
Find {pattern} starting at the current caret position.
The following escape sequences can be used to modify the
behavior of the find. When flags conflict, the last to
appear is the one that takes effect.
- \c
- Perform case insensitive find (default if 'findcase'=ignore).
|
- \C
- Perform case sensitive find (default if 'findcase'=match).
|
- \l
- Search only in links, as defined by 'hinttags'.
|
- \L
- Search the entire page.
|
Additionally, if the /Find Bar/ extension is installed, the
following flags may be used,
- \r
- Process the entire pattern as a regular expression.
|
- \R
- Process the entire pattern as an ordinary string.
|
Find a pattern backward of the current caret position in exactly the
same manner as /
n
Find next. Repeat the last find.
N
Find previous. Repeat the last find in the opposite direction.
*
Search forward for the next occurrence of the word under cursor.
#
Search backward for the previous occurrence of the word under cursor.
:noh[lfind]
Remove the find highlighting. The document is highlighted again
when another find command is used or the 'hlfind' option
is set.
