Find Replace

Thanks!

Could we get a keyboard shortcut for find replace, or at least add it to the cmd+F find tool?

Really hoping to be able to cmd+R for replace. I so rarely look at the popup menu I didn’t even realize it was in there. I use shortcuts for almost everything.

why don’t i have it? Windows desktop app.

So I spent about 1/2 hour the other day manually making the same change to a text string, thinking ā€œwhy doesn’t Dynalist have search and replace? :thinking:ā€.

Just now an update came for Win desktop app so I decided to see if there were any new features. Lo and behold while searching I find that actually there is a search replace feature.

  1. Why is this not shown as an option on the popup menu for Search function. The way it is in every other app ever programmed ever…

  2. Why is the hotkey not "CTRL/CMD + R by default … the way it is in every other app ever programmed ever…

  3. Why did I have to almost accidentally stumble over the fact that the feature is already in this program that I use every single day to track almost every single project and errand in my life (not exaggerating)

Love the app guys …but your customers shouldn’t be wasting time (some people are saying hours of time) because you didn’t finish the last 5% of the job when adding a feature. Make it easy to find and use, thanks.

It is in a weird place: In the context menu of any item, even though its operation has nothing to do with the current item. It would be more sensible by the magnifying glass icon.

Ya, it’d be nice if it was in the UI, or in the dropdown links that show up when you use the find box

Like which? No it’s not, in standard apps like #gdocs and #gsheets there’s a separate hotkey for find+replace, or you have to go through the UI (which is a bad way of doing certain things btw)

Find+replace showing up upon clicking on search/find would seem like good UI, but have to test to see - since many apps do not actually have this feature, so want to see some common/popular apps and see how it’s done in their
