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?? /rant Reproducible: Always -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
