When coding, developers often need to do a quick search in the current code.
The environment already includes a search functionality (Ctrl + F).
However, this requires using the mouse and setting the search options.
A new simple search mode in the current code was introduced in version 28.
The Alt+ F3 keyboard shortcut opens this search box.
Instances are highlighted in the code as you type. The number of occurrences is displayed.

To perform a quick search in the code:

1. Open a project in the editor and go to the code of an element.
2. Press Alt + F3 to open the quick search box:
   
3. To switch to "Find/Replace" mode, press Ctrl + R when the search box has the focus.
   
   
   Remark: To exit the replace mode, click the close icon or press Esc.

• You cannot open multiple quick search boxes.
• The box is closed by clicking the close button or by pressing Esc.
