<title>Find and replace</title>
<section id="find-pane">
<title>Find pane</title>
<p>Most basic find operations in GHex can be done by utilizing the <gui>Find</gui> pane.</p>
<p>You may toggle the <gui>Find</gui> pane in the following ways:</p>
<list>
<item>
<p>Click the <gui>Find</gui> button on the header bar.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>F</key></keyseq>.</p>
</item>
</list>
<p>In order to easily search for a string in either hex or ASCII format, the
<gui>Find</gui> pane acts like a miniature hex editor. You enter this string in the
same way you would edit a file as described in the <link xref="basics-edit-file"/>
section.</p>
<p>To search for the next occurrence of the requested string in the file from the
current position of the cursor, click the <gui>Find Next</gui> button.</p>
<p>To search for the previous occurrence of the requested string in the file from
the current position of the cursor, click the <gui>Find Previous</gui> button.</p>
<p>Your search results will also be automatically highlighted in a different color
than the standard selection color.</p>
<p>You may close the <gui>Find</gui> pane by pressing <key>Esc</key> while it is focused, or
by clicking its own <gui>Close</gui> button in the bottom-right-hand corner of the
pane.</p>

<section>
<title>Find and Replace pane</title>
<p>The <gui>Find and Replace</gui> pane works a lot like the <gui>Find</gui> pane, except
that it also allows you to replace the next string, or all strings in the file,
with string in the <gui>Replace With</gui> field.</p>
<p>To replace the next string from the cursor in the <gui>Find String</gui> field with
the string in the <gui>Replace With</gui> field, click <gui>Replace</gui>.</p>
<p>To replace all instances in the file of the string in the <gui>Find String</gui>
field with the string in the <gui>Replace With</gui> field, click <gui>Replace All</gui>.</p>
<p>In other respects, the <gui>Find and Replace</gui> pane works as described in the
<link xref="#find-pane"/> section above.</p>
