        Hello, @calvin-orley and All,

        Very easy, indeed !

        • Open the Find dialog ( Ctrl + F ) or the Find in Files dialog ( Ctrl + Shift + F )

        • Type in your keyword in the Find what: field

        • Choose the appropriate box options

        • Select your search mode ( Normal, Extended or Regular expression )

        • Click, either, on one of these buttons :

          • Find All in Current Document of the Find dialog

          • Find All in All Opened Documents of the Find dialog

          • Find All of the Find in Files dialog

        • After a while, a new window Search Results should appear, which shows all the occurrences found

        • Inside this window, right-click and choose the Copy Pathname(s) option

        • Open a new tab ( Ctrl + N )

        • Paste the clipboard contents ( Ctrl + V )

        Et voilà !

        Best Regards,
