Not quite sure what you mean?

Currently, Find wraps-around, when you've hit the first/last hit.

It looks like Everything is already doing that. When the last match in the resultlist is found, it goes to the first one on the next F3
Status bar says: "Reached end of results; Continued from the top"

Until today I had no idea this Find Bar even existed

Had it been listed along Menu Bar, Filter Bar and Status Bar in the View menu, I would not be writing this post now

Everything 1.5.0.1385a fixes an issue with F3 not progressing to the next item when using regex:

RFE:

Ability to Paste with keyboard shortcut into the Quick Find dialog box,
Ctrl+V &/or Shift+INS

As it is, the only way to do it is to use the context-menu, Paste

I can paste from the clipboard under these conditions:
(I am not aware of any other settings that may be required).

Everything Options - 1.5.0.1391a (x64) > Keyboard > Show commands containing: paste

Here's what I have to say to that!
<hold tight ;-)>
(i suddenly had an interest in clownflare.com)


i wonder what i was doing?
i must have used /, rather then, Ctrl+F

Ctrl+F does allow paste

if you use /,
it appears that even though QF opens,
focus is not in the QF search box

ah, sure enough

Ctrl+F, & you can /see/ cursor in the QF search box
/, & it is not, so that is why Paste fails
& FAYT (search_for_text_when_you_start_typing=1) ... ?
- FAYT acts the same as /


is that intended ?

so Ctrl+F, focus is on Quick Find
/ or FAYT, focus is on the results list

so does it make sense, or is there something lost
if / or FAYT were to focus on Quick Find
Yes, lost.

all forms do incremental search, regardless

Ctrl+F, you're phsically "in" the QF search box
so you must wait for timeout or hit ESC
in order to do something like to use arrow keys to move position in the results list

/ or FAYT, you're in the results list so arrow+up/down automatically "ESC",
so you don't need to physically ESC or wait for timeout

OK, so it makes sense then that / or FAYT do act in the way that they do

& with that, once you realize, you can do an action like,
/ Ctrl+F PASTE

with that, / opens QF, Ctrl+F focuses on QF, & PASTE pastes
clipboard to QF

(& why that rather then simply doing Ctrl+F from the onset?
only cause i almost exclusively use FAYT & otherwise i'd
use /, & mainly to be able to Paste, which doesn't work in
that manner, so then we're back to / Ctrl+F which accomplishes
what i want ;-))


(& Jump To is independent of QF, so that is not playing in)


PS: FAYT = Find-As-You-Type = search_for_text_when_you_start_typing=1

Phew, very detailed explanations!
In such cases, please place the PS: FAYT ... at the beginning of the post. :)

Here is some information about "/":
search_for_text_when_you_start_typing -> true

I prefer Ctrl+F.
Note: Ctrl+F retains the previous search term.

Quick Find
