to make it really slow, search for
[\x{202A}-\x{202F}]
I can also reproduce the issue. As a workaround, for now at least, you can use the Search & Replace plugin. With the plugin, the search is done in less than a second. @Kåre Särs Thanks for the workaround it is really fast in search, but unfortunately Search & Replace plugin doesn't have option for replacing all matches or at least I couldn't find it. There is the "Replace checked" button that replaces all the checked items. After a search all matches are checked until you un-check them (In reply to Kåre Särs from comment #4) > There is the "Replace checked" button that replaces all the checked items. > After a search all matches are checked until you un-check them Thanks. It works. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/ktexteditor/-/merge_requests/466 |
Created attachment 154982 [details] a big file contains hidden unicode chars SUMMARY *** I have a txt file generated it for tesserocr that has lot of hidden Unicode chars under Pop Directional Formatting (PDF) block. So I want to search & delete them. I notice that kate is very slow in doing that. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. download attached txt file. 2. search & replace (Ctrl+R) 3. type \x{202C} 4. choose Regular expression mode 5. Click Replace all. OBSERVED RESULT the process is very slow.
