Check the video I posted earlier in this thread.
When I do a find all nothing happens. The screenshot below is after I have selected find all from the menu. Nothing is listed under the filename
Curious. it works here. Any errors in Console or the Windows|Activity window?
It seems to be dependent on whats in the file
ClassLibrary.zip (8.1 KB)
If you search for sailed in that findall does nothing
Ah, got it, the find all doesnāt take into account the search options yet (i.e. case insensitivity, whole word or (in Fire) RegEx. Thatās on the lost for next week.
Will the need for selecting find all or replace all be removed ?
I was wondering if it was possible to display the arrow head all the time and then perform search when you expand it ?
Using Water to test Mercury now for a while (could be that I did not find everything yet),
so I have a list too:
- Assignable keyboard shortcuts for all menu items (with saveable templates)
- Open With on each file to open a file with an external editor (b.e. to start an external designer or viewer)
- Rename file
- user definable custom tools for code gen from a file
I wasnāt planning to.
Not planned for now, as thereās a general strategy behind the keyboard shortcuts and how they relate to each other. Iād be happy to add more shortcuts form existing items that doing have any, if you have concrete suggestions and thereās free keys that wonāt conflict. The problem in Water is that Windows has one fewer modifier keys than macOS.
Should already work, standard F2 shortcut in the tree view, just like in Explorer.
Should be doable, based on the extended Generator support weāve Hooke who for Mercury recently, yeah. But this needs some thought, since the Generator project setting right now isnāt always consistent (i.e. .settings has its own generator name for VB, vs others, while .resx does not, and so the different generators to be used had to be hardcoded. Question will also be how to register/find the custom generator implementations. Iāll go an issue to investigate how to best add this.
At least when performing a find all it would be nice if I could just expand the file without having to select it from the menu first
The āproblemā is weāre always doing a find all.
Iāll play around, but I donāt like the idea of filing open the file starting the *async, and potentially slow) operation of populating the initially empty list of sub-nodes, as youād have a delay between filing open and seeing the results.
Iāve been closing Water, renaming the file, editing the <Include/> entry in the project file, and reopening. This is great to know.
It would be nice to have some sort of indication in the app that this is possible. Preferably in the context menu, but at least a top menu item listing F2 as the shortcut 
any other magic shortcuts I donāt know about?

Its standard tree view behavior ā it works even in Explorer, and I dont think thereās a matching menu item for it. But Iāll see if I can add something. I also wanna get slow-twice-click to work (as in Explorer again), but the f%%%king tree view is fighting me. Think Iāll throw that wpf tree view out for a different control sometime soon.

Ah ok, Iāve never done any windows development. I knew I could do F2 in Explorer but didnāt realize that was a framework-level control and not an app-level control. Good to know 
itās not; I had to manually get it to work
