Find in Files #2151

Open jamesford42 opened 5 months ago

jamesford42 commented 5 months ago

I would very much like to have a "find in files" option for my local changes. Basically the find/filter box for local changes could have a checkbox for "in contents" which means also search within the files, not just the filenames. Alternately ctrl+f is existing operation and ctrl+shift+f is find in files (this matches visual studio and notepad++ well).

Context: I often am piecing together commits by topic and that's not terribly easy to do with a large amount of modified files. Going back and forth between vs or vscode for find in files of a type or method name (ie. one added by the commit you are building), then re-entering the related files found into fork's find filter is not a great workflow.

I could use a vs/vscode git integration to stage these, and probably should in this case, but in general those integrations bug me and id prefer to do the entire staging and committing process in fork.
