Searching and/or filtering for response bodies #115

Open ttytm opened 2 weeks ago

Especially for big request a search and filter functionality can be a game changer.

A regular vim search / would already go a long way. Filtering via jq would be an outstanding feature.

As a temporary measure, not sure if you're aware (I can't even remember if I've documented this), if you have your PAGER/EDITOR env vars set you can quickly hop over to an external program using f3/f4 respectively.

There's also POSTING_PAGER_JSON - if the response is JSON, then that'll open in whatever program you have assigned. I personally use POSTING_PAGER_JSON=fx, so when I press f3 with a JSON body focused, it opens fx (https://fx.wtf).

You can also set these in the config.yaml file as pager

(Although I do agree that at least a simple / search is needed in Posting itself!)
