Disable multiline searchbox?

#1

Hey All, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Dumb question about SublimeText (2.0.2 on OSX): When I use CMD+F to search, sometimes after I type what I want to search for and hit ‘return’ to perform my search, it creates a newline in the search box instead of performing the search. Is there a way to disable this?

I would like it to always perform the search and immediately move to the next reference found, if any, instead of creating a newline.

Otherwise I love this editor. Thanks!!

Hahaha, oh man, after FAR too long, I’ve finally figured out what the problem was.

I’m on a Mac (OSX 10.8.4) using one of the Apple USB keyboards (seen below) and the enter key on the num pad creates a newline in the Sublime text search box! It never occurred to me that the two enter keys actually performed different operations. In my opinion, this is still annoying, but at least now I know why!
