Text find commands

&dactyl.appName; provides a Vim-like incremental find interface to replace &dactyl.host;'s crippled Typeahead Find. Among other improvements, our find service:

Starts at the cursor position in the currently selected frame, unlike &dactyl.host;, which always starts at the beginning of the first frame for documents with more than one frame.
Returns the cursor and viewport to their original position on cancel.
Backtracks to the first successful match after pressing backspace, unlike &dactyl.host;, which will always continue from the last match.
Supports reverse incremental find.
Escape sequences to toggle link-only and case-sensitive find.
Crude regular expression searches are supported.

/]]> /pattern

Find pattern starting at the current caret position.

The following escape sequences can be used to modify the behavior of the search. When flags conflict, the last to appear is the one that takes effect.

\c: Perform case insensitive find (default if findcase=ignore).
\C: Perform case sensitive find (default if findcase=match).
\l: Search only in links, as defined by hinttags.
\L: Search the entire page.
\r: Process the entire pattern as a regular expression.
\R: Process the entire pattern as an ordinary string.

?]]>

?pattern

Find a pattern backward of the current caret position in exactly the same manner as /.

n]]> n

Find next. Repeat the last find.

N]]> N

Find previous. Repeat the last find in the opposite direction.

*]]> *

Search forward for the next occurrence of the word under cursor.

#]]> #

Search backward for the previous occurrence of the word under cursor.

:noh :nohlfind :nohlfind

Remove the find highlighting. The document is highlighted again when another find command is used or the hlfind option is set.
