    KatePart Search Bar

    How to use this page

    • Please append "// ~~~" when adding items or commenting so we can see who said what later easily. Thanks! // sping

    Usability issues and improvement ideas

    Incremetal search bar

    • Do we need a clear button for the search pattern line edit? (#161415) // sping

    Power search and replace bar

    • Bar is too wide and makes window grow on open (#159954, Mail by Chusslove Illich) // sping
    • Bar is quite high // sping
    • Is switching modes (e.g. "Plain Text" to "Whole words") easy enough? // sping
    • Are the "Add..." buttons used at all? Remove or move into context menue? // sping
    • Checkboxes: How often are they toggled? The state of which does the user need to see? // sping
    • "Use Placeholders" - better name? // sping
    • Add option for selecting match or just highlighting? (#130396) // sping
    • Mode combo box and "Add..." button next to each other as of now set a rather high minimal width for the search pattern line edit above // sping
    • Number of replacements made is not shown anywhere // sping
    • Tab-Order of the replace bar --> I think the order should be: 1. Find, 2. Replace, 3. ... same as now // 93.83.106.50 mat69

    Both editions

    • Remove From cursor option and make enabled default? // sping
    • "Reached buttom, continue from top" indication spans two lines which also grows/shrinks the height of the bar (#168687, #170279) // sping

    New power search mockup by Jens Bache-Wiig (jbache) (2008-06-20)


    Note: Meant to come with button images

    v2 mockup by sping (2008-09-25)

    Minimal width

    Wider than minimum (to show grow behavior)

    v3 by sping (2008-09-28)


    Sizes: 50%, 100%

    Suggestion

    Hey all, I created a pretty lightweight mockup. Not sure how to upload pictures here so its an external link.
