Start your update to JADE's latest release

Add 'Find a control' to the Controls menu in painter

Currently you can open the 'Find a control' dialog using the right-click context menu in the Jade Painter or the 'Find' option on the edit menu. It would be more consistent to have the same caption as the right-click context menu. I also wonder if it would make more sense for this option to be on the Controls menu? Regardless, it would also be useful if you could use the Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut to open this dialog more easily via the keyboard.

Tim is correct F3 is listed on the menu item, but this doesn't currently work as it clashes with the find a form option. This has been treated as a bug and they will have separate shortcuts in future.

Would be nice if there is a text box (not a combo box) at the top on the hierarchy form to search for a control. So then no need to to open another form to do a lookup.

I had looked on the edit menu, but I was looking for a "Find Control" entry and missed the "Find" entry. Thanks for the tip.

I think the Edit > Find menu item might open up the 'Find a control' option that you are looking for? The shortcut is currently listed as F3 for that menu item, but since F3 is a duplicate shortcut in, it might not currently work. (this is being fixed in a future release I believe)
