Re: [Zim-wiki] jump window text alignment

[Jaap Karssenberg]

I think it makes sense to either do right alignment or ellipsize text so
the end is always visible.

Could you file the request in the github issue tracker?

Regards,

Jaap

[Zim-wiki] jump window text alignment

[Nathaniel Beaver]

Sometimes the paths in the jump window are too long, and the matched 
page name might not be visible. For example, a search for 
"power-manager" might return



projects:software:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4
projects:software:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4


when the full paths are


projects:software:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4-power-manager
projects:software:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4-power-manager-plugins


(See attached screen shots.)

One option is just to make the jump window wider so that the full path 
is visible. However, this can be ungainly and is limited by screen size.


Would it be possible to right-align the matched text in the jump 
windows, as in the attached screenshot mockup?


A search for "power-manager" would return


are:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4-power-manager
-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4-power-manager-plugins


This way, the matching text would always be visible.

Alternately,
