Select a string.
Add Next (Next) Occurrence.
Add Next (Next) Occurrence.
(Now there are 3 selections.)
Deselect Bottom Selection from Multiple Selections.
Add Next (Next) Occurrence.
It skips as expected.

** But the skip won’t occur when there were only 2 selections:
Select a string.
Add Next (Next) Occurrence.
(Now there are 2 selections.)
Deselect Bottom Selection from Multiple Selections.
Add Next (Next) Occurrence.
** It does not skip.

It should NOT skip, and I will fix this issue on v19.6 beta 3 (19.5.93). Thank you!

But please consider the skip as a feature.
Otherwise one can not go further using keyboard for the next occurrence when “Add Next Next Occurrence” command can not reach.

And the current behavior is not correct yet:
{x}
{x}
{x}
{x}
Select the 1st “x”.
Add Next Occurrence.
Add Next Occurrence.
Deselect Bottom Selection from Multiple Selections.
Add Next (Next) Occurrence.
** The bottom selection is “}”.

I fixed the issue on v19.6 beta 5 (19.5.95).
Also on v19.6 beta 5 (19.5.95), you can press the following steps to skip:

Add Next Occurrence
Add Next Occurrence
Select Character (F8)
Down several times.
Add Next Occurrence

Thank you!

But the skip behavior is more convenient, especially when the further occurrences are far from each other, or are not in sight.

And when skipping (which is actually searching the next by EmEditor), I will not miss any further occurrence.
If I move cursor manually, or use mouse to add the next wanted, I could miss some if I don’t see all in between.

So please consider reviving this “beneficial bug”, or adding an option for it.

How about using “Add Next Next Occurrence” command?

[LTT]

By “Add Next (Next) Occurrence” I mean either of the two commands.

The ideal process I expect is:
Add Next (Next) Occurrence. (= Use either of the two commands.)
Then I see and check the new added one.
If it’s not wanted, I use “Deselect Bottom Selection from Multiple Selections” command.
Then I go on to add the next. Therefore I expect EmEditor should skip automatically for me, rather than I move/select manually.

—————
Suggestion 2:
Add Next (Next) Occurrence
▲ Hope the two commands can be used via Find dialog box and/or macros, so regular expressions can be used.
