The "new and improved" VS 2012 Find And Replace Dialog, is frustrating me almost every time i have to use it (like every 30 seconds) Is there way to make the find and replace window in VS 2012 act like it did in VS 2010?
I would like a non-docked, floating, DIALOG -- not the sticky auto-doc thing they have in VS 2012 (2013) now. It would be nice to have a underlined-letter-hotkeys to navigate the dialog without a mouse, and the window to do not lose focus after search.
The way to make this is to use the FindInFiles dialog. This can be done by learning to use "Ctl + Shift + F" instead of "Ctl + F" (bad), or simply change the shortcuts to use the old Find-In-Files dialog instead the new "thing" like this:
In 'show commands containg:' enter this: FIND
Hope that this will save you lot of furstration, like it was for me.
