Usability issues and improvement ideas
Incremetal search bar
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
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
