I want to load text into a named memory maped file and have F3 in codeblocks find the next instance of that text as if I had ^F entered it.
This functionality is similar to the ClipBoard <^S ^X ^V> function, which, with several interactions can accomplish it.
I would be content with a message based solution as well.
I pipe my search target to clipboard then paste it into the standard search dialog in c::b.
I use tags in comments to relate an interactive state diagram to C++ code.
The error jump from the compiler log would also be ideal as needs even less interaction.
