Feature request: Search available in Trend View

[Controls Guy]

Currently, the Search menu disappears when a Trend View is selected, and Ctrl-F doesn't open Find either, unless you switch to a different tab.

I have no idea if there's an obstacle to doing this, but I'd like to have one or both of those still active with a Trend View selected.

Thanks!

The MDI menu is context sensitive - it's view specific, based on the View that currently has focus.  When the Trend View has focus, what do you want it to find in the Trend View?

Even when the Search menu shows up, the Find dialog is specific to the current view.

Doc Editor, it finds elements in the doc view.  XRef View, it finds elements in the XRef.  Ladder View - finds elements or instructions in the code with a bunch of options.

Start Page, Dashboard - it's missing just like Trend View

Trend View - what command do you need in the missing Search menu?

Today, I would have searched for an item I was trending and hoped to find occurrences in logic.

Yes!  If the current Trend View has just one element, it can definitely do a Find All on that one.  There's actually a hot key Ctrl+Shift+Y for Find All (Current Element).

If the current Trend View has more than one element (more typical?), we could prompt with a drop-down list of all the elements in the current trend view, then perform the Find All.

I like it!   Or a right click on the element/nickname on the left or right vertical axis (might be iffy since for analogs those move vertically with the pen)
