Better display of search results would be great!

Post by x3po »

Hey there,

I wished the display of results (e.g. when searching in files) in WeBuilder would be like it is in Notepad++.

See the differences in the screenshots, then you'll see what i mean.

Notepad++:

WeBuilder:

(Why are there those ā–-letters everywhere? I think this does not benefit a better readability)

Would it be possible to extend WeBuilder's search functionality sometime? That would be great!

Regards,

funny, other than the summary in notepad++, I prefer webuilder's display. :) well, the boxes could go away, for sure.

What would be handy is if when you hovered over a search result, it showed you a few lines before and after your result so you could get a sense of context. That along with being able to select each instance in the list you'd like to actually do a replace in would own.
