      Hi,
      Is it possible using notepad++ or a plug in to step through the search results ?

      For example:
      I have searched my document and now have a list of results in the Search results window.
      In the search window I can click on a line and I’m taken to that line in the main window.

      I’d like to be able to use the up and down arrow keys in the search window and as I move over a line the main window update to show that line. This would be easier than having to use the mouse to select and click on each line.

      Is that possible ?

      Thanks

        Actually, you mean double click.

        Not quite the same, but, from the “main window” (no need to have input focus in the Search results) you can use these commands:
