Highlight all matches with 'find'
Submitted by seminal on Thursday, 5 January, 2012 - 21:09
New to Jedit - liking it so far. When I hit ctrl + f to find something, it only highlights the first matched result. How do I set it to highlight all the matches on the script?

thanks

If you select the option for "hypersearch" in the find dialog, it will give you a pane that has each occurrence of the search text in a click-able list.

Note: the hotkey for this is to select the text you want, then hit Alt-Period

If you want to cycle through the found results, this method is probably best. But if you just want to see them, then the Highlight Plugin (which I dearly love) might be what you want.

ps: this is the macro I use to get find all behaviour:

String word = textArea.getSelectedText();
word = Macros.input(view, "Find all.", word);
if(word!=null) {
xsearch.SearchSettings.push();
xsearch.SearchSettings.resetSettings();
xsearch.SearchAndReplace.setSearchString(word);
xsearch.SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet());
xsearch.SearchAndReplace.setFindAll(true);
xsearch.SearchAndReplace.find(view);
xsearch.SearchSettings.pop();
}
