Re: Ctrl-F - QuickFind doesn't work in VS2010 with ViEmu

Hi,

I recently installed the trial of ViEmu and I'm really liking it so far (I used to use vim a couple years ago and am enjoying re-learning how convenient it is).

One feature I would like to keep from VS is pressing Ctrl-f to bring up the quick find dialog. 
I use / to search in the current buffer fine but I still need to use Ctrl-f to do a solution wide search every now and then.

In Tools->Options->Keyboard the Edit.Find shortcut key is set to Ctrl+F (Global) but when I press Ctrl-f it just moves down a full screen as per the normal Ctrl-f viemu command.

How do I make Ctrl-f open the Quick Find dialog?

Hi Ashy,
I use <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<F>
It's "Find and Replace", but works as find for me ...

Ashi, the reason is probably that Ctrl-F is bound to "ViEmu.KeypressCtrlF" in the "Text Editor" scope, and it is bound to "Edit.Find" in the "Global" scope. "Text Editor" wins out over the global setting when editing text.

You can remove the "Text Editor" binding to let the global binding work. Either that, or bind it to "Edit.Find" in the "Text Editor" scope/context too.
