global and local search and replace #145

Open obw opened 7 years ago

obw commented 7 years ago

Search in a opened Text is missing (CTRL-F)

A Global search and replace option... best would be something like

replace all "aa" in all scenes too "bb"

Search feature, I got curious and checked this in the latest development build - and it works! Really quite nicely too. I did a search on "freedom" and it returned all four hits across four chapters! This is looking VERY nice indeed. You folks are doing a super job! Thanks.

Another comment on the Search function. When I search for a word, i.e., "price", it returns 5 hits in my document and it lists them in the search results window. I would love to see each word highlighted (bolded) in the book module where it is located. That way I don't have to read the entire module to locate that word. Make sense?

I strongly second both suggestions: Ctrl+F to search in editor Highlight all occurences of the found search term

I would also like to see Ctrl+F in editor and highlight all occurrences of the found search term. I would also like to see a project-wide search-and-replace (like the Ctrl+H function).

Right now, as a work around I am opening my Manuskript project (which is set to not save the project as one file) as a project in the Atom text editor. It would be great to have it integrated into Manuskript, though.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Search in editor is still needed. Can't imagine editor without such functionality. Current 0.11.0 does not have good search :(

Just adding my support for searching within the editor, or highlighting searched terms in the editor so that they are easy to find.
