From: Stefan Haller Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2012 07:40:25 GMT Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gitk: Highlight first search result immediately on incremental search Message-ID: <1348299625-90207-3-git-send-email-stefan@haller-berlin.de> In-Reply-To: <1348299625-90207-1-git-send-email-stefan@haller-berlin.de> When typing in the "Search" field, select the current search result (so that it gets highlighted in orange). This makes it easier to understand what will happen if you then type Ctrl-S.
