Find Next (⌘G) / Find Previous (Shift-⌘G) logic is inverted
The find next and find previous menu shortcut and keyboard shortcut work backwards. When you find next, it actually finds the previous, and when you hit find previous, it finds the next. It makes ⌘G work completely backwards than every-other-application in OS-X, including the Terminal app.
- iTerm2 version: 3.2.6
- OS version: Mojave 10.14.3
Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:
- Have a iTerm window with some repeating text in it. Eg:
ls -la /
- Begin the find by ⌘F
- Type some text, for example "root" or "wheel"
- Hit return. The return character finds text BACKWARDS, upwards in text, and also so does if you use CMD-G.
What happened: Find looked backwards in the terminal window.
What should have happened: Find should work like every other application known to human kind, and find forwards.
I'm guessing this might be a feature someone thought up since most people have their cursor sitting at the end of a terminal window and doing a find upwards sounds like it makes a lot of sense, except then it functions backwards from every other application. You need to invert your mental logic to use shift-cmd-G when inside of iterm, and cmd-g everywhere else.
If it is so, could you please make an option somewhere in the settings to invert this logic? I searched for it, I couldn't find it. :(
