Highlight all instances of found words #119

Open Paparasee opened 9 years ago

Paparasee commented 9 years ago

When I search for a text within the file, Emeditor (a notepad replacement), highlights all instances of that word and the cursor moves to the first found instance. On pressing F3 or Find next, it still keeps everything highlighted but moves to the next instance. The Status bar gives information of the number of found items. The advantage is that even without pressing F3 or Find next, the user can just scroll down and see all highlighted items.

Notepad2-mod does allow for highlighting all instances of the searched (and found) word, but, the moment I click on a word, all highlights disappear. I would like to ask if you could include the highlight feature but also keep the highlights till the user specifically selects to remove all highlights by using a shortcut or through a menu.

Sorry XhmikosR for writing to your personal email. I did not know about Github.
