Search for layers with gcode editor?

Is there a simple way to get to the beginning of layers, or do a search
with the gcode editor?  I would like to do filament color changes during
only certain layer changes,  but it takes a very long time on huge prints to scroll down until I see the layer I want.   If I had some way to search for a layer and it would position the cursor at the Z adjustment move for that layer, it would be perfect... even if it was only a way to search for text, it would be helpful,  at least I could search for "z" and that would be the beginning of each layer... would be a lot easier than scrolling.

    Yes you can jump directly to any layer. Below editor is a preview selector. Enter the layer number there and hit the button to the left. That will take you to the start/end of the layer depending on the button.

    Is there a way to do a search for a text string with the gcode editor?    I find that I would like to verify my @execute and @pause commands are properly placed, but I don't always do them on the layer change, sometimes I do them during the infill of the previous layer so it would be a few thousand lines up from the layer change.

    It is on my list of todos but it is not included yet.

    Instead of reinventing the wheel, perhaps it could just call an external editor. (choice of which is settable in preferences, of course).
