Hi,

just a little suggestion to improve the usability: It would be a real help if after entering a word in the search field, one could start the search process immediately by pressing the ENTER key instead of clicking on one of the arrow buttons.

That's all!

This is one reason why I went back to version 2.2 build 2129. Find function is very important to me.

I see. You can use v3.0 when it's released.

That's great news!

I registered here just to post a question/comment on why when you pressed Ctrl+F and typed your search query, you had to take your hands of the keyboard to hit the arrow key. Glad I searched for this topic first before I posted a new thread.

Also, I love Foxit reader and love what you guys do. I recommend this to all my friends. Keep up the good work!

This drove me crazy. I wrote a two line macro, assigned it to Ctrl-Shft-q which clicks the Find Arrow.

I did this in Macro Express, but it could also be done in AutoHotkey (free, open-source) If anyone has or gets AutoHotkey
http://www.autohotkey.com/
I'll write an AutoHotkey script and you can assign it to any hotkey you like, and the script will only work in a Foxit window.
