The search does not work

[Anixx]

Pressing Ctrl+F or chosing "Find" from menu does not make any effect.

This happens in browse code mode (not in editing mode)

That's a limitation of VSCode: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/173643 I could create a custom find widget, but it will require some work. Where do you think it would be useful?

or chosing "Find" from menu

Which menu? The menu should be disabled outside of editing mode.

[Anixx]

The pull-down menu, I meant. It is always there and there is "Find" option but it does nothing. Possibly, should be disabled so not to confuse users.

Can you post a screenshot?

I see the red dot on the About button... What's your Windhawk version? It should be hidden, and perhaps it wasn't in an older version.

[Anixx]

1.3 beta I will update and report back.

[Anixx]

So, I installed 1.3.1-beta (although the About dialog says itt is 1.74.2):

The behavior is the same. The "Find" menu item does not disappear.

Second file does not exist.

"window.menuBarVisibility": "classic",

That should be:

 "window.menuBarVisibility": "compact",

Either you edited it manually, or perhaps one of the very early versions had this value (I don't think so).

In any case, you can just modify the file and change it from "classic" to "compact" to get the desired behavior.

That's a limitation of VSCode: microsoft/vscode#173643

Actually, I was wrong about that. The search can't be added in the sidebar, but it can be added in the main view, which is what's important. I'll add it in the next version, can indeed be handy sometimes.

[m417z]

I tried to add the search functionality in version 1.4, but it seems that it doesn't work properly in VSCode v1.74. I'll try adding it again after I update the VSCode version in one of the future Windhawk updates.
