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-RShow/Hide ruler
Command-IShow/Hide invisible characters
Command-FShow find panel
Command-Shift-FShow find panel go to replace field
Command-GContinue find
Command-Shift-GFind previous match
Command-[Shift text selection to left
Command-]Shift text selection to right
Command-Option-CCopy text with styles.

This setting can be set via the preferences dialog, too.

Examples

Turn on find bars in a script:

Set Variable [$r; Value: MBS( "SyntaxColoring.SetAddFindbars"; 1 )]
