Description Hussam Al-Tayeb 2015-09-27 07:59:54 UTC

If I open /home/hussam and press the "Find" button in the toolbar, it opens a search bar but the button itself doesn't get into a 'pressed' state. This is ok but it is nicer in terms of polish to put the button in a pressed stated while the search bar is open. This makes the product looks more polished since users like visual feedback.
As an advantage, the [x] button in the search bar can be optionally removed if the above is implemented because I can instead toggle off the search bar. This also minimizes the buttons on the screen.
Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

I rather agree.

FYI - there's also menu item `Edit -> Find (Ctrl+F)`, which should probably toggle the state of the `Find` button as well. It performs the same action (showing the Find bar).

I'm working on this and will fix the menu item as well, unless there's an objection.

There have been a few patches that attempted to do this, but they've all run into some issues. Heres the latest one: https://phabricator.kde.org/D12094

I say: dump the whole FIND button and use KFIND instead via right-click:
