"Find All" key equivalent doesn't work right

#1

I would like to be able to Find All purely by typing, but I must be missing something because I can’t quite get it to give me the focus I want. I am on MacOS X 10.8 and ST 2.0.2 (and using solarized light color scheme).

If I type cmd-f, type my search string, and press the Find All button, ST does exactly what I want: it highlights all matches in dark gray and I can immediately type my replacement text.

But if I type cmd-f, type my search string, then type cmd-ctrl-g to find all, ST highlights all matches in yellow and the focus is still in the search box. Thus I cannot type to replace the found text. Is there a keystroke I can type that is equivalent to pushing the Find All button (find all and move focus to my document)?

I hope I’m just missing something simple. But when I looked up “Find All” on the internet all I found was cmd-ctrl-g.

Hover over the “Find All” button, the wanted shortcut should be shown.

If not, you can always press “ESC” to bring focus back to the view.

Thank you. That’s great and I really appreciate knowing how to get focus back to my main window. (I am surprised the Find All menu item and button do different things, but at least I’ve figured out more or less what the menu item is supposed to do).
