Incremental Search Mouse Pointers

I didn’t know about incremental search until someone showed me.  Now I can’t live without it. 

  1. Press Ctrl+I
  2. Start typing the text you are searching for.  note: you’ll see the cursor jump to the first match, highlighting the current search string.
  3. Press Ctrl+I again to jump to the next occurrence of the search string
  4. (advanced tip) Press Ctrl+Shift+I to search backwards
  5. To stop searching, press ESC

    Once you've got a search punched in, (Shift-)F3 also works for navigation.

    Cool tip.  I've used this feature in Vim for a long time.  It's proven itself very useful many times.  It is something I miss when I program in visual studio.

    Video Repost of Original VSTip of the Day #001 . Incremental search can also be thought of as live search. The cursor hightlights the frist finding as you're typing the search term.
