Enhancement: CTRL+F Find instead of filter

Open acastruc opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

I load a log file and I am looking for occurrences of a substring, let's say 'foo'. I hit ctrl+f and it takes me to the text filter field. I type 'foo' and only logs with 'foo' in it are displayed. I believe this to be as designed. I am wondering if there would be a way to do a standard 'find', where all instances of 'foo' are highlighted and hitting ENTER jumps between them but keeping all the logs visible ? This is often preferred over filtering because you often need to see the log lines surrounding the logs with 'foo' Yes I understand a workaround is to filter them, mark them, then renable all logs and then jump between the marked logs, but this is extra steps and not as fluid. Maybe a toggle switch to change filter field between filter+find? Or just add a separate "Find" feature doesnt hide all non-matches? I think filter and find are both useful and I'm not advocating to remove filter...just to add a find feature too. Here's what I mean by standard "Find" - look what macOS console does image
