One of my pet peeves with the code editor is that the find/replace dialog box will not stay on top. If I search for something and then click in the editor window to make a change, the find dialog disappears behind the editor. Is it possible to make it so that the find dialog will, or can, stay on top of the editor so one can quickly search for the same or new piece of code without moving the editor window out of the way. The only way I have found to do this is to move the dialog away from the edit window before searching (another annoyance). If editing in full screen mode, this gets to be really tough w/o multiple displays.

Thanks,
Snap

Hello Snap,

I will forward your suggestion to support an option to have the Find/Replace window to be always on top to our Development team and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations of the software.

Thank you for your feedback.

Try "CTRL + F". It brings the open Find/Replace window to the front.

That works, but even the lowliest of text editors, like notepad, keep the F/R dialog on top. I shouldn't have to recall it every time I do search and edit.
