It would help if we got some improvements in the Find function. For example:

* remembers your last looked up word
* can continue to search in the document from the cursor point
* used another hotkey besides Cntl F, it should use Q,W,E,A,S,D,Z,X,C for ease of reach
* Allowed for Find/Replace

Hi Randy,

Some thoughts on your suggestions.

The Find/Replace are two apps in CC HE, as opposed to one app with mulitple tabs in something like Word.

Control F is a standard key stroke for find. Control H for replace. Some apps allow for customizing hot keys, altho' I haven't found that in CC HE. Maybe that could be incorporated.

CC HE will remember the last word, if it's still highlighted.

I've noticed also that CC HE doesn't search from the cursor point. It searches the whold doc. Probably set up that way since html needs a certain consistant formatting throughout the doc. Makes sense to me that if I need to replace a mistake (<A hrfe=) then I'd want to make sure of that globally.

Just a few thoughts. .............. Ken

Find and Replace always start at the top rather than at current cursor (like most software)
In general, I would vote for behaviors modeled on the Office VBA editor.
