survey: Incremental search usefulness
-
Has there been any traction on incremental search with regexp support?
I went through the NPP’s GitHub page and the Issue #8248 was last updated a month ago.
That being said, it reads like @sasumner is now slightly less critical of the idea :)

Not that I’m aware.
-
@asvc I’m affraid that the war has been lost, the feature won’t be implemented.
I’m sorry -
That feeling when you want to use a text editor, but it actively refuses to be used… I will try to poke @sasumner at GitHub one last time.

When one door closes, another opens. Let’s try with the fork: https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext/issues/4

the fork
Why do you think NotepadNext is a fork of Notepad++?

Hello, @don-ho, @cmeriaux, @alan-kilborn, @asvc, @ekopalypse, @michael-vincent, @astrosofista, @mapje71, @terry-r and All,
In order to promote a bit the incremental search, with regular expressions I just had an idea :
Why don’t we propose to put a new setting in the
config.xmlfile to allow this new incremental search mode ? So, by default, for non-experienced users, the incremental search would remain a classical search ;-))I mean, in the same way that @don-ho, preserved the backward regex search with this new
regexBackward4PowerUserattribute in theFindHistorytag, since N++7.8.7 Release 4. See my request to @don-ho, one month ago, for such a setting, in the last part of this post :https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/54520
Just hope you won’t find this idea too ridiculous !
Best Regards

Nice fork. Qt is nicer than mfc. Too bad there isn’t a python API for plug-in because I don’t like Lua.
-
@guy038 your idea is a good compromise but I think for a feature like this, it should be mainstream wheter be hidden through a config parameter

That’s a start! It can be used to gently introduce the functionality without creating any sort of discomfort for long-term users. Then, based on feedback, setting can be exposed in GUI.
Now… How to deliver this message to @donho without annoying him with repetitive requests? :)

Good luck figuring that one out. :-)

@asvc you can write him an email, email address is available on website
-
@Alan-Kilborn Yes, this is a fact, it’s hard to argue.

I need regular expression support.

If you have a specific question about Notepad++ regex, then create a new topic in the Help Wanted section. Don’t resurrect an old topic that isn’t specific to your question. And don’t just say you would like help: explain what you want help with.

@PeterJones sure.
