Thanks for the report. Please try the search plugin that is designed for searching in multiple files. I will try the plugin as a workaround but I'm not sure that is a solution to the fundamental problem that for such a first class editor, basic search functions are missing. If there is a such a plugin then as you have already suggested in another report it might be wise to incorporate its functions into the core of Kate. Kate is such a good editor in most respects but with regard to search it feels rather second-rate. It does need to be fixed. The search plugin should have been enabled by default, but the shortcuts are not set by default. I myself have changed the shortcuts and would be happy if the that would be the default for kate :) You change the shortcuts in Settings-> Configure Shortcuts... Then search for "Search in Files" and re-assign Ctrl-F to it. You can also reassign F3 to "Go to Next Match" and Shift+F3 to "Go to Previous Match" I actually find the Search plugin to be superior to the one in Notepad++, but I guess I might be a bit biased ;) |
