Description Matthew Woehlke 2010-06-18 01:22:18 UTC 
Version:           SVN (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

It would be awesome if Kate had, or at least had the option for, an application-wide find bar. It is quite often I want to find something in multiple open files (but digging around for 'find in files' is not only more work but would be much more results than I want).

That is, I expect:
- press ctrl-f -> find bar now shown
- type some text -> text is searched
- switch to another document -> find bar still shown with same search text
- search previous/next -> searches in newly active document

This would also fix bug 241502 :-).

Reproducible: Always

Bonus points if the implementation is done in a way that allows any katepart-using application to make use of this feature, easily.

I'm thinking along the lines of

KTextEditor::FindBarInterface {
public:
    FindBar* createGlobalFindBar (QWidget* parent);
    void setFindBarForView (FindBar* bar, View* view);
}

but other approaches would be possible, too.
