To open the search panel for buffers, press Ctrl + F. Some options in the search panel and search actions can be controlled with the keyboard:
| Toggle Regular Expressions | Alt + R |
| Toggle Case Sensitivity | Alt + C |
| Toggle Exact Match | Alt + W |
| Find Next | Enter |
| Find Previous | Shift + Enter |
| Find All | Alt + Enter |
The incremental search panel can be brought up with Ctrl + I. The only difference with the regular search panel lies in the behavior of the Enter key: in incremental searches, it will select the next match in the buffer and dismiss the search panel for you. Choosing between this panel or the regular search panel is mainly a matter of preference.
Goto Anything provides the operator # to search in the current buffer. The search term will be the part following the # operator.
These keybindings work when the search panel is hidden.
| Search Forward Using Most Recent Pattern | F3 |
| Search Backwards Using Most Recent Pattern | Shift + F3 |
| Select All Matches Using Most Recent Pattern | Alt + F3 |
You can type a multiline search pattern. To enter a newline character, press Ctrl + Enter in the search panel. Note that the search panel is resizable too.
