Notepad++ Find by marks all matches in the current doc as 'found', with a distinct (darker) highlight for the 'selected' found. Double clicking selects a word, as in IDLE, *and* finds all matches. One can then either cut/copy/replace the selection, as in IDLE, *or* look at other matches in the file. Notepad++ also offers options to (in addition) 'Find all' in current doc or all opened docs. This lists the hits in a separate box, as with IDLE's Find all. Double clicking on a hit line goes to that line. (Easier than RtClick/goto.) I suspect I would find live highlighting annoying. Why would having all 'a's on a page light up when I type 'a' be a plus? But I will try your patch when we are ready to focus on search/replace/find. I have mentioned elsewhere that I might go for a minimal search box on the status line separate from the dialog(s). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34976> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
