Quickfind plugin

Works similarly to TextMate's ctrl+s. But if text is already selected, it will be the default search. Keep pressing ctrl+s to search for the next instance.

Installation

Using Package Control, install "Quickfind" or clone this repo in your packages folder.

I recommended you add key bindings for the commands. I've included my preferred bindings below. Copy them to your key bindings file (⌘⇧,).

Commands

quickfind: Displays an input panel where you can enter a quick search.

If text is selected, it will search for that text if the previous command was 'quickfind'.

If extend option is true, the selection will be extended up to (but not including) the search.

Default search settings are:

• wrap: True
• case_insensitive: True
• use_regex: False
• look_backwards: False
• extend: False

Key Bindings

Copy these to your user key bindings file.
