At first step I posted a screenshot waiting for opinions from contributors. I feel @kugel- and @b4n supported my idea of search bar. Moreover, I modified my original code so that user can chose from 3 options: search bar on top, search bar at bottom and an old search dialog. I feel you used a straw man argument. >like expanding the toolbar search facility instead of using space in the >editor, which you havn't addressed yet I guess it would be a long discussion on what should be in a toolbar, which of toolbar thinks should be provided as plugins etc. I felt that after @kugel- explanation >The search bar comes and goes, the toolbar and statusbar are static.

I >see that the search bar is part of the editor just like the header bar (when >files change externally). there is no need to elaborate. >You need to make a case, and just saying "its the way browsers do it" isn't >particularly persuasive when talking about an IDE. I provided some arguments for search bar in https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2220#issuecomment-512686843 and @codebrainz said >I don't disagree with the search bar vs search dialog (for most cases) so I thought that's enough. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
