[Web IDE] Search feature is not ideal #60

Open ScruffR opened 5 years ago

ScruffR commented 5 years ago

When using [Ctrl]+[F] the search result isn't easy to see since it's marked as writing on dark gray background on a black screen.

Can you see what I searched for here? image (imagine that without 150% zoom factor 😉 )

Also when doing search next via [Ctrl]+[G] you can't edit and then search next again but have to start over again with [Ctrl]+[F], enter search term and then [Ctrl]+[G]

[Ctrl]+[H] is meant to do find/replace but doesn't actually do anything while editing or when hit after [Ctrl]+[F] it opens browser history in Chrome.

We're unlikely to make big improvements to the Web IDE search UX since that's baked in to the code editor that it uses.

For the highlight, would a dark blue color be better in your opinion?

Chrome search uses orange (current location) and yellow (additional occurances) and I've found that to work well on dark background too.

You can try by hitting [Ctrl]+[G] without first entering [Ctrl]+[F] find in Chrome.
