Hi, just got around testing the latest snapshot - great! The toolbar-search is close to what I always dreamt of. Only a few questions arose:
- it's a combo-box - but for me, it doesn't do anything. - is it possible to bind the incremental search to some key? - same for "search next/prev incremental". I looked in the shortcuts, but no luck. Maybe I missed it - it's pretty crowded in there by now. And some semantics of the emacs incremental search I really like, so maybe they are feasible, too: 1) If one presses C-s, the minibuffer opens, and one can start typing. The equivalent here would be that the first press would put the focus into the search field 2) if C-s is pressed again while in the minibuffer, the "search next" functionality is executed - thus, no shortcut is "wasted". So if the focus is in the search field, pressing the same shortcut would search again. 3) Pressing C-w while searching will expand the search term to the word-boundary the cursor is currently over. I better explain this by example: Let's say you have a few methods called "show_*", where * is of course something like "tables" or "images" or whatever. Now when I want to find one of these, e.g. show_tables, I type C-s, then type "show_". I then repeat pressing C-s. Of course all strings containing show_ are found. Now when the cursor is positioned over something like self.show_^tables with ^ indicating the cursor position. I can press C-w, which will expand the search term to the next word boundary - in this case show_tables. So I only search for that subsequently. 4) Pressing C-s twice when not in the minibuffer (or, so to speak, once again with an empty buffer, as the first puts the focus there) will reuse the last search term. I don't know if and which of these things is easy to implement - I guess having at least the possibility of shortcuts for "search next/prev" shouldn't be too hard. All other stuff is just a suggestion. All in all, it's always impressing at which speed eric evolves and how useful for me it becomes - so far it's the only IDE that lured me away from XEmacs, and that includes TogetherJ and Eclipse as failing competitors...
