Description
Sets whether the plugin adds find bars.The plugin watches Command-F and if you are focussed on a scrollable text view, we can show the find bar from macOS. That’s a standard feature of macOS and we just enable it.
It can be that FileMaker does not draw everything perfectly as we add a control to the view hierarchy. Also the find bar is probably not designed to be running in a modal dialog. Still it is helpful.
Keyboard Combinations:
| Command-Option-R | Show/Hide ruler |
| Command-Option-I | Show/Hide invisible characters |
| Command-F | Show find panel |
| Command-Shift-F | Show find panel go to replace field |
| Command-G | Continue find |
| Command-Shift-G | Find previous match |
| Command-[ | Shift text selection to left |
| Command-] | Shift text selection to right |
| Command-Option-C | Copy text with styles. |
This setting can be set via the preferences dialog, too.
With version 16.1 the custom script search will find things inside the custom functions.
Examples
Turn on find bars in a script:
Set Variable [$r; Value: MBS( "SyntaxColoring.SetAddFindbars"; 1 )]
