    Nano

    Once a file is open in nano and I want to search for a certain character throughout the file, say an 'x', it will take me to the first 'x', but how do i find the rest of the x's in the file? Do I simply page down and visually look for them, per page, or is there a command that will jump to the next 'x' charcter?

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
