File Compare: use standard macOS search functions and accelerators
Currently, SmartGit (and your other tools) use non-standard search functions on macOS:
- Command-E does nothing
- Command-F changes the search string to whatever is selected
- The search text isn't shared with other applications, and is inconsistent, e.g.:
1) Open Find, enter some common text (call it "A"), and search successfully
2) Close the Wind window
3) Make sure no text is selected and then open Find again: you'll see the same text you searched for before
4) Enter some garbage text (call it "B") and Find; dismiss the "Didn't find" warning and close "Find"
5) Use Command-G: it'll find the previous text ("A")
6) Make sure no text is selected and then open Find again: you'll see the garbage text ("B")
It should use the standard search functions described in Apple's UI standards:
https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/user-interaction/keyboard/
- Command-E should set the shared search string to the currently selected text
- Command-F should open, showing the shared search string
- Changes to the search string should be shared with other applications
- Command-G should search with the shared search string; if it can't be found, then alarm (don't open a dialog)
- Have an option to allow wrap-around searches without prompting dialog

Yes. I believe this is true anywhere you can edit the text of a file.
