Appendix A: Fred Commands

Incremental search

Fred supports keyboard-based incremental searching.

You begin an incremental search by pressing Control-S (search forwards) or Control-R (search reverse). After typing this command keystroke, you begin typing the string for which you are searching. As each character is typed, the search proceeds to the next occurrence in the window of the string as specified so far. You can search for the next occurrence without augmenting the string by typing an additional Control-S or Control-R.

Full details on searching can be found in the section "Incremental Searching in Fred" in "Editing in Macintosh Common Lisp," Chapter 2 of the Macintosh Common Lisp Reference.

The keystroke sequences in Table A-8 are used during incremental searches.
