Add list of search special characters in search window

This issue is unique.

  • [X] I have used the search tool and did not find an issue describing my idea.

Your idea.

Is there any setting in DesktopEditors that would find/underline/highlight in-between words spaces that are more than 1 character wide?

MS Office has it and it is a very useful feature when editing formal documents like publishing articles. It should not be too difficult to implement while using the spelling module.

Hello, @bhlevca. Try entering two special characters "^w^w" into the search tool. Thank you for report.

if ^W means CTRL+W then it does not work on Linux+KDE. CTRL+W is mapped to a window function.

^w literally means to input those symbols, without any key combinations

YES, this way it works. It would be good if these features can be documented in a manual or help files

It is documented

Thanks for the link. Is indeed there, but some how hidden and if you don't expand the link you can miss it. Thank again. An interactive search/help withing the application that would lead to the page would be ideal.

@bhlevca, we know about this behaviour. We discuss this issue(list-a hint in the search) with our development team (issue 56516 in our internal issue tracker).

Moving this issue to DocumentServer repo, since it's our base product and problem actual there too
