Default Extend selection?

Hi Fscodave,

I want to start a search from the insertion point and extend the
selection from that point to the found item. That is, all the text from
the start point to the found item will be selected. (It's called extend
selection in the WP context, where I come from.)

Double click the EXT entry in the status bar or press F8 to turn on the
Extension mode. Edit/Find (or Ctrl+F), enter the search term, "Find
Next".

To turn off the mode, double-click the button in the status bar or press
Esc.
