[FEATURE] Add next/previous buttons to Find/Replace tool to jump to each found location within the selected result

If something is found in the Find/Replace tool inside of a script, for example, in multiple places, it's extremely difficult most of the time to locate these in the current/preview viewers. You have to search for the bold text through potentially 100s of lines as well as in the horizontal direction as well, since a lot of the time code lines in split view aren't all visible in the scroll pane viewport.

It would be invaluable to be able to click through (next/previous buttons) to bring each found location into view.

Not exactly what you're describing, but if you go to the script itself and press ctrl-F (on Windows), you can bring up next/previous buttons. I know as recently as last year they didn't exist, but 8.1.30 has them.

(I agree that it'd be better to have this functionality in the Find/Replace tool itself.)

This is where I'm talking about, as you can replace directly from there, so you want to make sure that all the places should be replaced before committing. Although, maybe it would be nice to be able to replace one by one as well as you click though, as you can in your screenshot?
