16 &dactyl.appName; provides a Vim-like incremental find interface to
17 replace &dactyl.host;'s crippled Typeahead Find. Among other improvements,
22 Starts at the cursor position in the currently selected frame, unlike
23 &dactyl.host;, which always starts at the beginning of the first frame
24 for documents with more than one frame.
27 Returns the cursor and viewport to their original position on cancel.
30 Backtracks to the first successful match after pressing backspace,
31 unlike &dactyl.host;, which will always continue from the last match.
34 Supports reverse incremental find.
37 Escape sequences to toggle link-only and case-sensitive find.
42 Regular expression find, however, is not currently available unless the
43 /Find Bar/ service is installed, in which case it may be toggled on with
49 <spec>/<a>pattern</a><oa>/</oa><k name="CR"/></spec>
51 <p>Find <a>pattern</a> starting at the current caret position.</p>
54 The following escape sequences can be used to modify the
55 behavior of the find. When flags conflict, the last to
56 appear is the one that takes effect.
60 <dt>\c</dt> <dd>Perform case insensitive find (default if <o>findcase</o>=<str>ignore</str>).</dd>
61 <dt>\C</dt> <dd>Perform case sensitive find (default if <o>findcase</o>=<str>match</str>).</dd>
62 <dt>\l</dt> <dd>Search only in links, as defined by <o>hinttags</o>.</dd>
63 <dt>\L</dt> <dd>Search the entire page.</dd>
67 Additionally, if the /Find Bar/ extension is installed, the
68 following flags may be used,
71 <dt>\r</dt> <dd>Process the entire pattern as a regular expression.</dd>
72 <dt>\R</dt> <dd>Process the entire pattern as an ordinary string.</dd>
79 <spec>?<a>pattern</a><oa>?</oa><k name="CR"/></spec>
82 Find a pattern backward of the current caret position in exactly the
83 same manner as <k>/</k>
91 <description short="true">
92 <p>Find next. Repeat the last find.</p>
99 <description short="true">
100 <p>Find previous. Repeat the last find in the opposite direction.</p>
107 <description short="true">
108 <p>Search forward for the next occurrence of the word under cursor.</p>
115 <description short="true">
116 <p>Search backward for the previous occurrence of the word under cursor.</p>
121 <tags>:noh :nohlfind</tags>

126 Remove the find highlighting. The document is highlighted again
127 when another find command is used or the <o>hlfind</o> option
