[PATCH 0/2] gitk: Better highlighting of search results

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Here's something that has been bugging me for a long time: when using
the incremental search feature, it's hard to tell what happens when
clicking the Search button (or type Ctrl-S) repeatedly. It does have
the concept of a "current" search hit, and Ctrl-S advances to the next
one; however, you can't see it because all search hits are highlighted
in the same way (yellow). So when there are multiple hits visible on
the current page, it will at some point scroll down to reveal more
hits, but it's impossible to predict when this will happen.

To improve this, we highlight the current search in orange and the
other ones in yellow (like Chrome does it when you search on a Web
page).

Needs to go on top of the recent "Synchronize highlighting in file view
when scrolling diff" patch, v3.
