1409863 - Style Editor Find Next/Prev

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Zach Gover]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
Currently in order to find the next match ("Find Again") for the current value in the 'Search for:' text field of the Style Editor tab in the developer tools, you have to use the keyboard shortcut `Ctrl/Cmd + G`. There is no ability to find the previous match.

What problems would this solve?
===============================
Replace the find functionality in both the Style Editor and the Inspector tabs with that of the Debugger tab. Then add the same keyboard shortcut keys (`Enter/Return` = Next Match, `Shift + Enter/Return` = Prev Match)

Who would use this?
===================
The Developers/Designers who utilize Firefox developer tools.

What would users see?
=====================
After using the key combination in either the 'Style Editor' or the 'Inspector' tab of `Ctrl/Cmd + F`, the "Find" panel will appear at the top of the content panel as it does in the 'Debugger' tab. The "Find" panel will have a search box field, two chevrons (Up & Down) buttons, X button, Modifier Buttons ('.*' = Regex, 'Aa' = Case Sensitive, 'Word' = Whole Word).

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
Share the same functionality across these tabs for all find functionality, resulting in a more memorable experience and greater user experience. 

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
It would be pleasant to share this find functionality across all of the developer tools tabs (i.e. Inspector, Console, Debugger, Style Editor, Performance, Memory, Network, Storage, Dom etc).
