List Find results with line context

Post by pintassilgo »

One useful feature I miss from Notepad++ is that it can list Find results in a "list of lines", highlighting the searched terms. Then you can click each line from the list to go to the match.

Is there a Cuda plugin for that? It's native in Np++, doesn't require a plugin.

In Notepad++, it works by clicking the button "Find All in Current" in Find dialog, and the result is like that:

Edit: it looks the plugin Find in Files 4 can do that! I'll test more later, but this looks solved.

Edit: it looks there is no way to disable wrap long lines in the list? So it's not good for long lines, makes navigating the list bad. Is there any option to restrict context? Like, instead of showing the entire line, show just {n} chars before and after the searched term.

All FindInFiles-4 options are in its sub-dialog: '= button in UI / Engine options'. I cannot find 'wrap' there. Author is busy in last months, sorry.
