I'm using Ace editor and I'm using the search and as I use it it is searching through the document on each key press change.
So what I mean is as I type into my search box I'm calling this method on each text change:
editor.find(searchInput.text);
If I have a document with ten items named "list" and I type "L" it finds the first instance and highlights "L". Then I type "i" and it finds the second instance and highlights "Li". Then I type "s" and it finds the third instance and "Lis" is highlighted.
What I'd like it to do is stay on the first instance and highlight "Lis". I think I need to set the cursor position. But how do I get the cursor position of the beginning of the highlighted word? Or better yet is it possible to continue subsequent calls to find() starting at the current search position? I hope this makes sense.
There is a skipCrrent option for search see https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/v1.2.0/lib/ace/ext/searchbox.js#L220 which is from built in ace search which already works as you describe
It looks like I can ensure the search continues from the current anchor position by using the following code:
var position = editor.getSelectionAnchor();
editor.find("needle", {row:position.row, column:position.column});
FYI It did not seem to work with integers but I could be wrong (try casting to string).
As suggested by #auser, setting skipCurrent to false works as well.
editor.find("needle", {skipCurrent:false});

I have this little challenge.
I want to ask, how do i sort the emails using the color code (light green) as stated in this picture here
I have tried to remove the non emails by scrolling through, but i need a solution that can make it a one click through sorting.
I will appreciate your kind response.
Open the Replace dialog box and enter the following regex in the Find field:
^((.*#[^\.]*)|([^#]+))$\n
Change the radio button to Regular Expressions. This regex pattern finds any line without a dot after # or any line without a #. Note that you need the last line of the document to be empty as shown in line 7 of your document.
Since we are deleting those lines, the "Replace with" field is blank. Now click Replace All.
using the "Replace..." [Find menu] function a slide-in at the bottom appears with an option field/entry for "Find:" and below that one, one for "Replace:"
having completed a replace [eg "Find: abc", "Replace: xyz"] for instance by employing "Replace All" the very slide-in disappears
now for another, new, search, for instance within a document having selected a different, let's say word like "oha", that selection 'oha' is auto-copied over as new entry in "Find:" when using "Replace..." again. this is to say that now in "Find:" the entry does read "oha" tho didn't paste it manually in -- the "abc" entry fromthe previous search got replaced
however, the last entry in the "Replace:"-entry-field remains unchanged
it's the "Find:" entry that get's auto filled in w/out the option [as far as i could figure out]
and that exactly is my question about :
any option to modify Sublime's settings such that nothing gets changed/auto-copied/filled-in at "Find:" ?
pretty annoying behaviour, as i experience it, for instance when having to replace just a single character combi within similar text and each time the copy-selected text get's auto-copied/filled-in at "Find:" rather than leave it be till the usr opts to modify that entry from previous replace-calls
The Find and Find and Replace widgets automatically populate the Find box with either the current selection if there is one, or the previous value used in that box. This box is a dropdown, which contains the previous values used, so you can easily go back through your history in that window and not have to re-type a complicated regular expression, for example.
When the Find box opens pre-populated with a value, it is automatically selected, so to get rid of it all you have to do is hit Backspace or Delete. Alternatively, you can just begin typing your new search query, and it will erase the old one.
There is a setting in Sublime Text 4 that modifies this behavior:
// If true, the selected text will be copied into the find panel when it's
// shown.
// On Mac, this value is overridden in the platform specific settings.
"find_selected_text": true,
If you set "find_selected_text": false, in your user settings, you can disable this behavior.
I'm trying to search through my entire project using CMD + SHIFT + F.
When I'm searching for anything that contains a dot (.) in the query the search will not find anything even though I literally just copied it from the code. For example I am searching for this:
self.init
and I get "no results for self.init"
I can't find any option that maybe regular expressions would be activated.
How can I make XCode to find any string I type into the search field (even when it contains dots)?
Press command4, or shiftcommandf to open the left side menu. In there, you can search using regular text search, regex, and more.
When searching for plain text, make sure that you're not matching regex. For this, press the button next to Find and select Text from the dropdown:
Maybe I'm just me that don't grasp the meaning of a simple thing, but I really can not understand the meaning of the round icon that is next to the search field of the panel objects of Interface Builder of Xcode. Someone would know help me?
That is the filter icon for Xcode, used to filter a list that is already showing.
In each filter field that's available you don't have to enter the beginning of the name to get a match. The most powerful of all the filters is the Quick Find feature (shown at the bottom), which doesn't even require the characters to be adjacent, for a match to be successful.
Did you know that you can also filter method names that appear at the top of your Editor?
Tap on the popup button:
Start typing to filter the list. As you can see, the entered characters don't have to be adjacent to produce matched results:
Contrast that to the search icon, visible at the top of the Find navigator panel:
There is also a filter field at the bottom of the Find navigator, to enable filtering through search results. I think it is supposed to resemble a half-filled magnifying glass, but it is missing the handle:
A filter field is also at the bottom of the Project navigator:
And, let's not forget about the filter field at the bottom of each of the library panels (Template library, Code Snippet library, Object library, and Media library). That really comes in handy, especially with all the UI components available on Mac OS:
But if you have a lot of files in your project, then I recommend using Quick Find (Shft-Cmd-O). You can type any letters for what you're looking for, and it digs up results of several types of objects, including file names and method names. It performs a powerful regex-style search that doesn't require the entered characters to be adjacent in the matched results. Notice that there is no filter icon here, because a list is not displayed before you begin filtering:
I will append some strings to NSTextView, but I want them to start at the bottom. New appended string should go underneath the last appended string.
In Java or C#, one can set VerticalAligment = bottom, but I can't find any appropriate way to achieve this in Cocoa... Any thoughts?
EDIT:
I guess I didn't specify precisely enough what I want, so I'll append two pictures. First is what it looks now, second one is what I want. Basically, the newest string is always at the bottom and the older ones gets pushed up. Makes sense now?
