isn't ctrl-g common for "find next" with shift-ctrl-g "find previous"? maybe i live too much in my IDE/text editors?


Almost certainly, but It's one of of these "I can't believe I never knew this, it's so obvious!" things.


In that case, I'd highly recommend browsing through the drop down menus for any of your apps. It is very common* for the keyboard shortcut to be listed, and very frustrating when it is not. This is my primary source for finding these shortcuts for a new app.

* maybe it's a Mac thing???


On macOS cmd+g is a standard shortcut most apps implement.


yeah, i substituted to ctrl from my normal cmd to not confuse people


In my head Ctrl+G is a shortcut for "Ctrl+F with the last result I searched for."
