Hi Markus!

I'm writing a continuous-save, mom-friendly and plugin free text editor
for GNOME. I'd need interaction design advice on how a text editor
should behave when it comes to searching / searching and replacing. What
do you see as optimal behaviour for a text editor for GNOME in this
respect?

Bryan Clark published some *very* interesting find ideas [1]. Look atgedit HEAD for a similar widget.Unfortunately, search&replace seems to be a hazzle - Bryan's proposaldoesn't cover it. Maybe thereis a way of integrating those two, possibly through additionalreplace/replace all functionality for the result

window.

Chris
