Access

This command can be accessed from the Text Editor (or any coding-aware variant of the Text Editor), by:

Using the F3 keyboard shorcut.

Use

After launching the command, the next occurrence of the text specified in the Text to find field of the Find Text dialog, will be located and highlighted. Use the command repeatedly to sequence through all other occurrences.
