Quick Find - Does it exist?

Alt-F3. You move between matches with up and down arrow.

Yeah, that's it. And now I even found it in the documentation. Thanks.

You make me think of a nice feature that can be added. I remember in the old
day ;) when I was using NetBean (don't laugh please), there was this very
nice search feature: You put the cursor over a word, hit the shortcut (I
think it was Ctrl-/ but I'm not sure), and it automatically go to the next
next appearance of the word. Another shortcut and it go to the previous one.

It's a very fast search. It is very useful when you want to go to the
previous usage of a variable.

Should I add that as a request feature?
