Feature request - Find in Files

[ertank]

Hello,

I really do like Notepad++ find in files feature, a lot. Most I like is having it integrated in the software and not dependent on a plugin. Moreover,
- I can click on the text using mouse and use arrow keys to walk in the search text or file text.
- I can click search all window change search text and search again.
- These are possible without closing search window.

SublimeText also has built in find in files feature. SublimeText find in files is not like Notepad++, however, it is still possible to use my keyboard/mouse on both results and original document. Double click on find results takes me to the relevant line in original document, etc.

Among other things, My daily routine force me to read log files. This is always to find some problems/errors. I know CudaText has Find in Files plugin(s). However, running a plugin stops me from using mouse/keyboard to walk/scroll in the original file. I have to enlarge result window and that makes it even more difficult to see/read original document text behind.

I do not know reasons behind not having built in find in files functionality or having plugins displayed as modal windows.

I do really hope to have such a feature it in CudaText.

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,
Ertan

I suggest only FindInFiles (ver4) or to write your own plugin (plugin CAN show non-modal dialogs! FindInFiles just don't want that - author said that FindInFiles needs original Cud state during all operation, so it is modal)

Also FindInFiles can put search results into normal editor-tab--
but I cannot find how to jump from that normal tab to each fragment (not done yet? will ask the author in several days)

I might use tab displayed search results for the time being. Copy line number and go to that line in original file.

However, I could not figure what parameter is to display search result in its own tab.

Plugin readme is not displayed.
Plugin history not includes this setting as far as I can see.
Github page readme includes history only.

FindInFiles4 don't have a readme, https://github.com/kvichans/cuda_find_in_files4
So I searched all of 'engine options' in FIF4 and did not find the option like 'show result in the editor-tab immediately'.
So one needs to invoke 'Copy results to new tab' after each search. (it has a hotkey in context menu).

reply from FindInFiles author. FIF4 don't support 'go to fragment' for report in the file-tab. FIF3 did support it but in FIF4 it's removed.
