Feature request: Search for previous instance of text

[wwtex]

It'd be useful if there was a way to search backwards, instead of only forwards like the current ctrl+k only allows. Something like the shift+return in the find dialogue in apps like Libreoffice.

When there are a lot of instances of a string and I'm looking for a particular instance, it's easy to overshoot the mark, and finding the one I skipped isn't easy.

Yes, that's a reasonable request --- I've done it myself.

Unfortunately this is extremely non-trivial as the find functionality depends on Lua pattern matching, which only works in the forwards direction. I'll have to think about it.
