search for text in the entire project lazarus / 9-Editor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- desperateNewBee · 2023-02-05 09:15 Hi, is there any possibility to search for some text in the entire project (in all units, which belong to the project). Right now I am performing my search in every single unit, which is extremely unefficient. Something like a 'global search option' would be perfect. Propably this is an easy to find function - but not for me... Thanks in advance for any hints! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bytebites · 2023-02-05 09:18 Ctrl+Shift+F ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MarkMLl · 2023-02-05 09:25 ...which is a shortcut for Search -> Find in Files... in the IDE. Not all of us think in terms of keyboard shortcuts, and as ones hands get older they become less convenient.

Most real programmers on windows - have Cygwin or Mingw installed, both also have a version of grep. Wordstar short cuts are a blessing... All IDE's owe to wordstar.

Ctrl+Shift+F How simple... Works great!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wp · 2023-02-05 12:09 If you - like me - tend to forget rarely used short-cuts, you probably will not forget that there is a "Find in Files" command in the "Search" menu where you have an option to "Search all files in project", or even to "Search in directories" which can be set to any directory, e.g. Lazarus installation directory, incl. subdirs.
