Bug ID: 389386
Summary: KATE Switching from tab to tab loses the search
context
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: dean.beed...@lightquick.co.uk
Target Milestone: ---
When multiple files are open in tabs, switching from tab to tab loses the
search context immediately, replacing the current search with an out-of-date
search, ie. the one last used on a different tab.
To continue the current search, you must have already copied the current search
into the copy buffer then you have to paste the clipboard contents into the
search area of the newly selected tab. This is very cumbersome and makes Kate
almost unusable for searching. Bear in mind that this must be performed for
each tab that you have open and that it is a real pain...
Solution: Allow the current search context to be retained regardless of which
tab is selected. In this case, clicking on a tab and then pressing F3
(continued search) finds all subsequent occurrences of the current search
string without having to open a new search bar. The way I am suggesting is
standard functionality for most other advanced editors.
