After I do a find, I have to use the mouse to hide the Find Results window.
Is there a keyboard shortcut?
Shift+Escape works for me for closing the Find results window.
I figured out how to make hide the find or replace window. here's how:
Dock the find or replace results window
Right-click its title bar, and select "auto hide".
Now, whenever you find or replace, it pops up in its docked position, and shows you the result,
and when you press , it disappears.

how to choose highlighted search results from the (cmd+F) word search? I know that I can change from one to the next one with "Tab" button. Pressing the "Enter" button on the highlighted word (in order to open that new link as I did on my Windows, but it does not work on my Mac). I always have to use my mouse in order to open/click on it. Is there another way to choose? I want to navigate faster through Safari.
Thanks
If you'd like to navigate faster through Safari, you can use a plugin/extension called 'Gleebox'. It's very useful for selecting links simply by pressing a shortcut (which you can set to whatever you like) and then typing the word. It will highlight it in green and you can press enter to select it. You can also press tab to move from item to item. It can also help you select just headers, image links, etc.
Gleebox for Safari is experimental however. Using Chrome, it can be downloaded here: https://glee.github.io/
I am unable to perform multi-file text search and replace (in Visual Studio).
In the past, when I opened the "Replace in Files" dialog, there were 4 buttons in the lower right. One of the bottom two buttons allowed me to "Replace All".
The two lower buttons (including "Replace All") are no longer present.
I believe this occurred after I changed some Windows settings so that I could use menus without the Magnifier.
It is not just a matter of the buttons being off-screen because the window is too large (although it is too large - they would be off-screen, if they were present).
I can drag the window and see the bottom, even though the top is then off-screen (I use AltWindowDrag, allowing me to hold the ALT key, and drag by any part of the window, not just the title bar).
The two lower buttons are not present. I'm unable to resize the window - when I try, nothing happens, or the window repositions so that I can see the title bar, but can no longer see the bottom.
The two buttons that are still present (Find Next and Replace) don't have keyboard shortcuts, so I presume that Replace All doesn't either. Nor can I select either of those two buttons using Tab, so probably can't select an "invisible" "Replace All" button that way.
Any help appreciated.
You can use Find and Replace by pressing Ctrl+H and to Replace All just use Alt+A.
I can't seem to find the exact keyboard shortcut I'm looking for.
When I do a "Find in Files" (Ctrl + Shift + F), the keyboard navigation automatically jumps to the Find results, and I can navigate the results with the arrow keys; the code editor window updates itself as I do so, and pressing Enter pops me from the Find Results Window to the code editor Window.
Now, this is great for the initial search, but what if I want to bounce back and forth, say, if I need to make changes around a few different places in my find results?
Is there a keyboard shortcut to jump back from the code editor window to the find results?
I'm using MSVS 2013, if it matters.
If you have the General Development keyboard scheme, try: Alt + F6.
This is bound to the Window.NextPane which is where you just came from, so it should take you back.
Also, Alt + F7 is Window.NextToolWindowNav which pops up a nav selection which makes it easy to move around. This nav selection is the same one for Ctrl + Tab which, once open, can be navigated up, down, left and right via arrow keys.
When I open any console window, be it PowerShell or the Command Prompt, it always appears on the far left side of my left monitor. This is waaay too far from my eyes and where I'd like it to be. It doesn't matter if I drag it to the center or exit or close the window, it always reappears in the bad location.
Is there any way to get it to reliably appear where I left it?
Follow this:-
Open cmd.exe or Powershell.exe
Right Click top frame and select Properties
In the Layout tab, find an option for Window Position
Uncheck Let system position window;
Enter your choice and .... smile :) .....
I call up Find and Replace dialog with Ctrl+H. On F3 it finds the result but then I must hunt the Replace button using the mouse. And on every new find, it changes the screen position. Is there any way to use this dialog using only keyboard?
It will save me a few precious seconds multiplied by some very large number (I'm in the middle of heavy refactoring).
In visual studio 2015:
Ctrl+H opens the Replace dialog.
Ctrl+F opens the Find dialog.
Within that dialog:
Alt+N - Focus "Find" entry field
Alt+P - Focus "Replace with" entry field
Alt+C - Toggle Match Case
Alt+W - Toggle Whole Word
Alt+E - Toggle Regular Expressions
Alt+L - Open "Look In" dropdown list. Use Up/Down and Enter to select from this list:
Current Block
Selection
Current Document
All Open Documents
Current Project
Current Solution
Alt+R - Replace Next
Alt+A - Replace All
Esc - Dismiss dialog
For example, to replace "foo" with "bar" within the current selection:
Ctrl+H - Opens the Replace dialog, with focus on "Search Term".
Enter "foo"
Alt+P - Focus is now on "Replacement Term"
Enter "bar"
Alt+L, choose "Selection", press Enter.
Alt+W - Whole word only
Alt+R - Replace first term
Esc - Close replace dialog.
Sorry,
As microsoft there is no keyboard shortcut as Replace Next,
You can check this url

You could simply copy your desired replacement text before starting to F3 through your source text, and hit Ctrl+V when you hit the next match as VS selects the match text for you.
It is a hack, but it works.
If you dock the find/replace window then it will not move with each new find.
You can then alternate with 1 finger on F3 to move to next find, while hovering the mouse over the non-moving replace button to replace what you need.
It is possible to deactivate Resharper default behavior of "Alt+R" which provides a quick access to Resharper menu in Visual Studio.
Just uncheck it in Resharpers options:
