Bug ID: 471463
Summary: Request: "whole word" button in Kate search panel
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.04.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: search

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In the Kate search panel, there are currently options to "Match case" and
"Enable regular expressions".
Additionally, in the Kate Ctrl-F bar, there's a button for Match case.
It would be nice to add a way to easily filter matches by whole word (VSCode
for example supports this, and in ripgrep you can use the -w parameter for
this).
I believe this can also be achieved by using regex word boundaries, but a GUI
button is easier to use for most users.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There was a request for this in Ctrl-F before: bug 290010. However that does
not cover Ctrl+Shift+F (Find in Files). That said it'd be nice to have this in
Ctrl+F and not just Ctrl+R, imo. (I understand the reasoning for why not, but
still consider it a worse UX).
