Improvement for the Find/Replace dialog

Hi,

today i have a small suggestion for a little improvement of the IDE.

When you use the Find/Replace dialog, enter a search criteria and there are no more occurances, a message box appears and ask whether to continue search from the beginning of the file. Your hands are still on the keyboard and the best would be now, if you press ESC for NO and ENTER for YES. But actually both keys perform the action of the NO button.

After you have closed the message box, the editor gets the focus back, but not the Find/Replace dialog. It stays on top of the editor and hides the source code. It would be better the Find/Replace gets the focus, to repeat the search with another criteria (or option) or explicitly close the dialog.

Uwe

Even better would be to replace the dialog box with a Search/Replace Toolbar 8)
