Bug ID: 389388
Summary: KATE - There is no option to search all open documents
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Strangely, when you are searching there is no option to search all open
documents. To achieve this you have to perform a search and replace instead.
You perform a search and fail to find the string in the current file, then you
have to click on the search and replace button at the very bottom left of
Kate's window. This leaves you with a search bar already open and then another
search bar with an additional unwanted replace field. Having two search fields
open simultaneously is very messy and well, just a bit rubbish. Furthermore,
the first search field may well be populated but the second search box remains
statically empty. You have to retype the search string into the new field...
This process just does NOT work.
Solution: Have a simple pop up dialog box with a radio button option to allow
the search to operate within all open files. Do away with the bottom search bar
altogether. The search field in a new pop up dialog box will be automatically
filled based upon the clipboard contents or last search regardless of whether
it is a simple search or a search/replace requested.
