No search/replace in table mode?

Open pkirkovsky opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

It seems that Atom's built-in search/replace mechanism doesn't work in table mode. This would be a really handy feature to have, since it makes modifying entire columns of data a snap (especially with regular expressions).

Is this a known limitation or am I doing something wrong?

Hi @pkirkovsky

Is this a known limitation or am I doing something wrong?

You're not doing something wrong, the issue is that find and replace only works with text editors. As I wrote on discuss I would love to reuse the find and replace UI instead of having to build my own, but I fear this won't happen in a near futur. But it's definitely on my roadmap.

Is there a good idea to create hidden TextEditor with raw csv each time when search is requested. In that way, we would use exists find&replace API, then we get TextEditorMarker's and highlight and update Tablr models ?

I am using atom only to use this extension, and this search(even without replace) feature would be really, really cool to have!
