Ace: Opening search/replace box programmatically - javascript

I'm trying to integrate Ace editor to my site. I know that it has keyboard shortcuts for opening the search and replace popups. Is there a way to open them programatically?
I noticed that editor.searchBox is undefined from the start but it is set when I hit cmd+F. I tried to look at ace/ext-searchbox.js but I can't find any method calls to try.

See implementation of find command in default_commands.js.
config.loadModule("ace/ext/searchbox", function(m) {m.Search(editor)});
or you can use editor.execCommand("find")

How to make the key combination ( Ctrl + F ) as a button on a website [duplicate]

I have created a website and have added a button and lot of text. What I want is to use the browser search (Ctrl+F), when I press the button which I added in website.
How can I achieve this?
It kind of works for FF. See this page
Find in This Page...
update: from mark's comment:
From my testing
window.find()
is supported in Chrome 37, and FF31, but
not IE11
update:
for more information on this window.find go here
No. In general, you cannot invoke browser controls from inside the webpage - security, sandboxing, and all that.
You need to make some sort of in-page search - if you're using a CMS, most of them have a simple search feature built-in.
If you want to do this in JavaScript, there are various scripts that emulate this in-page; randomly selected from my query "javascript find in page" is this one: http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/tips/find.htm

How to use the JavaScript Enhancement plugin in Sublime Text 3

I installed JavaScript Enhancement through Package Control.
Does it need to be activated first from somewhere before being able to use it?
Nope, no need to activate anything.
Just create a new JavaScript file and you'll notice its features are working.
Make sure your file is treated as JavaScript. You can check by looking at the bottom right corner. "JavaScript" should be selected.
I also could not get auto completion suggestion or any pop up while typing in sublime. I have tried several pluggins: all autocompletion, javascript enhancement. But nothing worked. So after reading some answer, I installed sublimeCodeIntel. I don't know why but only this plugging can give me the autocompletion popup.
So you can give it a try.

Using the vscode-regex plugin?

I've installed the vscode-regex plugin and I'm now attempting to get it to work. I have the following javascript and text document side by side in VSCode:
However I'm not getting any matches in the email.txt document. I tried the keyboard commant ctrl + alt + m, but still no love. Any ideas?
The instructions of the VS-Code Regex Preview Plugin look straightforward: Just open the test and the sample in side-by-side view, hit the hotkey Ctrl+Alt+M (⌥⌘M).
Unfortunately, I run into the same and could not get it working initially.
The solution: I've used the hotkey, then click the grey link: Test Regex...
Actually, the link and the hotkey do the same. However, the hotkey only works after the matching has been triggered by the link or clicking the actual regex pattern (as mentioned by Mark) first.

Javascript to move selected web text to MS Word

Im annoyed that this doesn't seem possible, but i wanted to check with the community to see if someone has developed a working version of something similar.
I'm a graduate student and spend a LOT of time online researching, and when I find that sweet paragraph that makes just the argument I've been searching for, I've gotta copy and paste it out of chrome (on mac os x) and into word (2011). I've built a "strip all formatting" macro that works well enough, but what i would like is a pipe from chrome into my open word document that gives me 1 key "send selection to word document" (like ~).
I've got the js working to get selected text and move it around, but i cannot seem to open the document i want to move the text into. Ideally, this would work as a chrome plugin (I've built them before), but I've seen no documentation about JS => Word on other platforms (obviously activeX controls dont work for me).
Any suggestions?
You can use an automator service to do this. Open Applications > Automator, and then create a service, which receives selected text (one of the built in defaults). This works in any app, and is accessible via the Services menu when you right click.
You can do this easily with TextEdit for example using these two actions:
Service receives selected text
New Textedit Document.
I've just tried it to confirm it. It can also copy rich text etc (including links) if you want. I imagine something similar is possible with word, and there is a built in service already to do the same if you have installed TextWrangler (another word processor).
JavaScript is contained within the browser for security reasons, so you will not be able to do it with JavaScript.
The best thing that i can come up with is to write a 'bot' kinda thing that just coppy pastes, so not for in an extention.

How to remove the Pop up message coming from FCKEditor when we paste text from a word file

I am using FCK Editor and when I try to paste some code from word in the editor, I get some pop up messages as follows:-
1)"Because of your browser security settings,the editor is not able to access your clipboard data directly. You are required to paste it again in this window.
Please paste inside the following box using the keyboard (Ctrl+V) and hit OK."
2) "The text you want to paste seems to be copied from Word. Do you want to clean it before pasting?"
These two messages are displayed on two different machines.
I don't want both these popups. I want to allow user to paste text from word without these popups
Please provide me a solution to resolve this issue, so that I can paste text from word files also.
Thanks in advance.
These pop-ups are there for a reason. Getting content from the clipboard is rightly generally impossible in JavaScript so browser-based rich text editors have to work round this as best they can. I know that CKEditor (FCKeditor's replacement) uses a trick that redirects a user paste to an offscreen element, which gives the editor access to pasted content before it's inserted into the editor; I think this trick may not be implemented in FCKeditor, so you may want to consider trying CKEditor.
