Inconvenient close button position in the Search bar (Ctrl+F)
Maybe I'm just being nitpicky, but does anyone else find it inconvenient that the close button for this toolbar is on the far right?
- I don't use the search bar enough to remember instantly that it's way over there. It usually takes me a couple seconds just to find it because its not close to the other elements on the bar.
- Running 1920x1200 resolution --- I spend on average 2 seconds moving my cursor way over to the right-edge of the screen to close the bar.
So adding that up, for me it takes average 3-4 seconds to close the search bar after I'm done with it.
I like how Firefox positions the X for their search bar on the far left. If it were done that way in the IDE:
- The button is grouped with the other elements on the search bar, making it far more noticeable.
- It's closer to the primary elements of the IDE (Project & Tabs), which is where my cursor usually hovers around.

Hi Shaun,
Just press Esc to close Search Bar (works even when you are in editor area)
Cool, but what do you think of moving the close button for people who are/were unaware of that?
And on my 1280 wide monitor in "split horizontaly" mode (2 tabs) close button isn't visible, but nobody cares...
