      I was saying it to anyone that would listen - I can always count on you :-)

      I think my question / idea is a bit different. @cmeriaux 7753 does appear fixed, opening the bar, selecting options, closing bar, reopening bar - my selections are still there. I proposing to close the Notepad++ application altogether.

      Then re-launch Notepad++ application (maybe this is where 8375 fits in - remember the “show” status of incremental search) - either way, my selected options are forgotten.

      Contrast that to opening the Find dialogue between Notepad++ application relaunches, things like “Match whole word”, “Match case”, “Search mode” - they are all remembered - saved in config.xml.

      I was wondering if the two check options in Incremental Search (and maybe the visible status of the bar itself) can be GUI options saved in config.xml?

      I guess a feature request if I really want it.

      Cheers.

        @Michael-Vincent I thinks add incremental parameters to the global config file is a good idea.
        I’ve already proposed this feature on the conversation of this feature https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/pull/8248#issuecomment-626377716 but author reacted with a thumb down. So I doubt it would be accepted.
        But you can write a new issue on github, the author may change it’s opinion… we never knows

          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.xml file 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 regexBackward4PowerUser attribute in the FindHistory tag, 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

                      guy038

                        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. :-)

                                  @Alan-Kilborn Yes, this is a fact, it’s hard to argue.
