hi, I wonder if it would be possible to improve the find function in pd. first thing, the popup window should automatically get the focus in the search field. secondly, be able to search "in this patch" or "in all patches" and "include sub patches". also be able to search for arguments, which is necessary for finding correlating sends and receives. marius.
Yes! It is very annoying not to be able to find $0- sends/receives!
(Trying to find with the literal value of $0 for the subpatch doesn't
work either).

Yes, it seems so small, but this would be a HUGE improvement when debugging. I often get lost looking around for things in the endless layers of patches and this would streamline that process.

Surely it is possible to improve, it is just a matter of someone
doing the work.
Patches welcome! :D

Is the functionality included in g_editor.c and/or g_canvas.c? and where is the code for the tcl/tk windows? pd.tk? and how do they communicate? since there are not many people working on interface behaviour, I guess it is not an easy task. I only know matju, who did big changes to the interface (which did not make it into the core pd) and you doing work on the tcl/tk side, which are greate, but also not in vanilla. after working with the lightweight, antialiased, pd-x features with a lot of addons, I don't want to go back to the vanilla look ever again. marius.

The interface is in u_main.tk/pd.tk, look for "find". The
implementation is indeed in g_editor.c, starting at canvas_find_again().
