Yeah, we should fix that. Probably by changing those in Replace dialog to match the 'Find' search bar. Thanks for the report. Integrated into 'main-golden', available in NB_Trunk_Production #285 build Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/a2805ca47f5d User: Vita Stejskal <vstejskal@netbeans.org> Log: #132449 (fixed): mnemonics consistent with the replace dialog Verified in 6.5 Beta. |
The inconsistent accelerators are: Find Replace ---------------------------------------------- Match [C]ase [M]atch Case [R]egular Expression Regular [E]xpression [H]ighlight Results Highligh[t] Results For example it often happens to me that I press Alt+R in the Replace dialog to toggle Regular Expression, like I'm used to from the Find bar, but in the Replace dialog Alt+R instead actuates the "Replace" button. And I always mix up what to press to toggle case sensitivity. The state of these options is shared between "Find" and "Replace", which further enforces the intuition that these are the same options, and hence the expectation that they have the same keyboard shortcuts.
