Bug ID: 367710
Summary: Enable highlighting in Scroll-bar Minimap for (just)
Find
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: richard.l...@gmail.com
The highlighting of searched strings in the scroll-bar minimap is very cool
feature, however in its current implementation it has very poor ease of access
and poor use.
Why? Because it is only shown when using the "Search & Replace" (S&R) dialog
but not when using "Find". This is bad for several reasons:
1. Often (here 99% of the time) one just wants to find text and not replace,
so one wouldn't open S&R in the first place.
2. Kwrite doesn't has S&R (or it has also very poor ease of access), hence this
feature isn't there available at all.
3. S&R is way too complicated for the average (non-developer) user.
4. S&R takes up way too much space (screen estate) of the window.
-> Therefore I propose to enable the Search highlighting in Scroll-bar Minimap
for Find.
Which really should be a no-brainer and I'm kind of disappointed that one has
to write a bug-report for such an obvious thing. I mean look at chromium, adobe
pdf, etc. everywhere it is enabled on find, why would you make such a feature
so hidden, really??
