Output text highlight #396

Open hollden opened 3 years ago

hollden commented 3 years ago

Is there any possibility to implement a feature: output text highlighting by regexp like in Moba Xterm or Xshell in windows?

Or maybe you can give me a hint how to make an extension, because unfortunately I am not so good at python

If I had a good idea of how to do it, I would definitely let you know. The searchbar does kinda what you want, but it doesn't update when new text is put to the terminal. I would start there if I were you.

VTE has a proof of concept patch in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/7771. The work is to be completed (which would be quite a tedious task: figuring out a decent API as well as how the rules would be represented in the emulator's settings panel).
