I loved the simplicity of HyperCard's cmd-F "Find", so I created my own in
LiveCode:
on commandKeyDown whichKey
switch whichKey
case "e"
global prevFindString
ask "Find:" with prevFindString
find it
if the result <> "" then beep
put it into prevFindString
break
case "g"
global prevFindString
find prevFindString
default
pass commandKeyDown
end switch
end commandKeyDown
Now, when I want to find some text in the current stack, I press cmd-E, start
typing, press enter. To find subsequent occurrences, I press cmd-G.
I tried scripting the message-box, to make it work just like HyperCard, but I
couldn't get it to work for some reason. Can't remember why – it was a long
time ago (when LiveCode was still called "Revolution").
