Wow.
Nevertheless, I feel there are some "strange" things, although they will be possibly perfect coherent design decisions so I prefer asking them. I also update a screenshot to clarify the questions.
- Why Saved Searches are just restricted to regex ones? I mean, obviously regex ones are much more suited for this feature but would it be difficult to add support for normal ones? (Maybe, they could be useful in certain situations, or for entry basic users).
- The location, direction and wrap options are logically not saved. But I think it's pretty strange that they are not synchronized with the "normal" search toolbar. Why? I mean, of course there can be situations in which this double setting could be useful, but I really think that in most cases it's going to be extremely confusing.
- I would also prefer a direct access (without tricks) from right context menu. A veeeeeery minor desire.
- Alt+R is used in Replace and Remove search. And it doesn't do anything but toggle the focus between both buttons.
- Count All is Alt+C while in normal editing is Ctrl+N. Wouldn't Alt+N be more logical?
- Why do we have a Count All button here but not in the normal toolbar? I think I remember something about being "impossible" to add. Another veeeeery minor desire.
- Wouldn't a "Copy to Search toolbar" button/link/whatever method be useful in the Saved Searched dialogue? (I mean the opposite method from the "Save current search" option).
- In the lower part of the dialogue you have the Find and Replace info of your selected Saved Search. But no info is shown about Case or Dot all options, and it could be really important.
That's what usually happens. Kovid codes something new and great and then EVERYBODY wants even more. Life is hard, Kovid.
