  • Wordpad : a keyboard version of replace-and-find-next ?

    From R.Wieser@3:633/10 to All on Wednesday, March 18, 2026 11:30:46
    Hello all,

    While working with Wordpad, I came to the realisation that, after having started a seach/replce thru the dialog, while F3 searches the next match, I have no idea what the key for replace-and-find-next-match would be.

    ... that is, if it exists.

    Does anyone know ?

    Regards,
    Rudy Wieser

    p.s.
    I tried Wordpads build-in help, but it seems to be mouse-usage only (doesn't show anything near a "shortcut" or "keyboard" entry)

    Each of the buttons on the 'Replace' dialog has one underlined letter.
    With the 'Replace' dialog open (Cntrl+H), just press Alt plus the
    underlined letter on the button which does replace-and-find-next-match.
    (If you don't see the underlines on letters, press the Alt key.)

    This applies both in Windows 7 and in Windows 10.

    No it's not.
