How to change focus from search bar to editor in Sublime Text 3?

Question

Is there any keyboard shortcut to return cursor to highlighted search result (to edit) when using Find in Sublime Text 3 ?

It would be awesome if there is a way to achieve this without having to use the mouse.

Answer 1

Find what you want and then just hit Esc to edit it :)

Esc 

I hope that helps :)

Answer 2

The accepted answer ( Esc ) doesn't allow you keep the search results highlighted when returning to the editor, since the search box closes.

To do this, you can use ctrl + 1 , which is the key binding for focus_group, group: 0 .

Answer 3

When it is highlighted, try hitting Control + D. The cursor should move to the highlighted selection.
