Add an option to search without considering diacritics

Open dresende opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Problem description

Sometimes, when editing files in non-english, there are words with diacritics. It would help to be able to search the file with a keyword without considering diacritics.

Preferred solution

O good solution would be a setting, not changing anything on the search panel. Something similar to this maybe:

{
    "find_without_diacritics" : false, // default
}

Alternatives

The alternative is to introduce the diacritic, but it's a bit uncomfortable when one is using the search panel with the "Highlight matches" option and type 1 character at a time and when hitting the character (that should have the diacritic) the highlight does not change.

Additional Information (optional)

Although I code (and believe most do) in english, I usually have i18n files with texts in different languages and it may be harder to find something when you don't even know how to write the diacritic (like umlaut).

Firefox has this, it's handy.
