It would make life a lot easierā€¦ * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-code-editor/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-code-editor/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Bainternet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bainternet/) * (@bainternet) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174753) * wish granted! please update the plugin and enjoy! * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174830) * you rock! * šŸ˜‰ and thanks a million! * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174837) * re-opened this thread since CTRL+F works but the enter key doesnā€™t. I have to click searchā€¦ * could you please, please fix this too? * ###edit### Just realized that pop-up is treated like a page? [http://screencast.com/t/yoKXqvlrm3](http://screencast.com/t/yoKXqvlrm3) * its showing an admin hint I am showing to members in my dashboard šŸ™‚ * no worries though since I am the only one with editing capabilitiesā€¦ just wanted to point this out! * Plugin Author [Bainternet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bainternet/) * (@bainternet) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174839) * [@ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/): The pop-up id not a page but a div, and the save popup is submitting the form by ajax and then reads the response in the Div with `message` id so if you add your own messages, they will show up, as for the enter key, not sure when iā€™ll get the time to look at it, but i will. * Plugin Author [Bainternet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bainternet/) * (@bainternet) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174850) * [@ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/): Once again wish granted! * the Enter Key is now a trigger for the search function. please update the plugin and enjoy! * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174870) * thanks. wonderful addition to wordpress! * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174912) * Houston, weā€™ve got a problem here! * I open up the editor, press CTRL+F type in my search, press ENTER and what happens is that the first instance of the word I was searching for gets deleted and my cursor jumps there. * it looks as if the ENTER key, triggers this, as if the text I searched for was marked already, automatically. * tested on two wordpress installsā€¦ * Plugin Author [Bainternet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bainternet/) * (@bainternet) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174913) * Sorry i Canā€™t reproduce this problem, i can only assume that when you press enter the focus was not on the search input box, simple way around it is to use the search button. * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174914) * I do understand your skepticism šŸ™‚ * here is what I do: 1. go to: wp-admin/theme-editor.php looks like: [http://screencast.com/t/byL8b4SCb](http://screencast.com/t/byL8b4SCb) 2. press CTRL+F 3. type in ā€œNameā€ see: [http://screencast.com/t/Rw2yGDPy](http://screencast.com/t/Rw2yGDPy) 4. press ENTER the result is: [http://screencast.com/t/8ZXfnNKbCr](http://screencast.com/t/8ZXfnNKbCr) * that was using Chrome v. 13 * tried with IE9 same result. using the SEARCH button works as opposed to pressing ENTER. * well, I can live with thisā€¦ just thought it was a general bug, might be related to my systemā€¦ * Plugin Author [Bainternet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bainternet/) * (@bainternet) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174915) * No skepticism at all. and i just found what you meant, apparently the search text box losses focus on chrome and IE so the enter actually is also applied to the editor after the search. * all fine in Firefox land. * Thread Starter [Ovidiu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ovidiu/) * (@ovidiu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-advanced-code-editor-feature-sugestion/#post-2174917) * I donā€™t know whats happening here, I get your notification emails, click the link, come here and your reply is missingā€¦ its almost as if you are being moderated. So for those confused, Iā€™m going to quote your reply below šŸ™‚ * the point is that Chrome is my primary browser, so I tested in a second one: could have chosen IE9 or FF6 beta and decided to test IE9 šŸ™‚ * coincidence. had I tested FF6 beta I might have noticed that it is working in FF. so if you can fix this cool, otherwise Iā€™ll have to live with it. at least I know its not just me being a pain in the a** but its a browser related issue. * cheers Ovidiu * > Bainternet wrote: > No skepticism at all. > and i just found what you meant, apparently the search > text box losses focus on chrome and IE so the enter actually is also applied > to the editor after the search. all fine in Firefox land.
