Question --- does it support keyboard modifiers in the Find-Replace dialog? NP in Windows 11 doesn't, and it really trips me up when moving from my work laptop running Windows 10 which does (and Win 11 NotePad doesn't get these, it will be a major stumbling block for me).
Can you give an example of what you're looking for?
On my Win11 computer in notepad.exe:
- press Ctrl+H brings up a replace dialog - if I tap the ALT-key, tooltips pop up near the relevant buttons (D for search down, U for search up, R for replace, A for replace all)
- press CTRL-F brings up the find dialog - if I tap the ALT-key, tooltips pop up near the relevant buttons (D for search down, U for search up)
pressing the relevant key invokes the associated function, e.g. press D searches for the entered text in the window below the current cursor.
In Windows 10 the "Replace" dialog has underlined accelerator shortcuts for
- _F_ind Next
- _R_eplace
- Replace _A_ll
which are obvious and visible in the dialog.
Having to tap alt is lousy UI, and frankly results in an ugly and cluttered appearance --- the underlines were able to communicate the functionality well, and far less obnoxious.
EDIT: Hopefully Windows 11 will develop a way to visually communicate this sort of functionality, as opposed to expecting folks to read a (non-existent) manual or randomly tapping keys.
