It would be extremely useful to transform the search result window so that it could behave like this:
Automatically filtering of search results when typing the search expression
Example:
Let's consider a search result of this kind:
Find Symbol "CLR" (literal, match case) in "C:\Encoder\"
CRC_Check.vhd
line 131: CLR : in std_logic;
line 201: CLR => IMAGELINESTART,
CRC_Encoder.vhd
line 42: CLR : in std_logic;
line 63: if (CLR = '1') then
If I type the character "=" in the filter box, then the results would become:
Find Symbol "CLR" (literal, match case) in "C:\Encoder\"
FCA_Check.vhd
line 201: CLR => FCALINESTART,
FCA_Encoder.vhd
line 63: if (CLR = '1') then
If I also add a ">" to the filter box appending it to the already typed "=", it would automatically become:
Find Symbol "CLR" (literal, match case) in "C:\Encoder\"
CRC_Check.vhd
line 201: CLR => IMAGELINESTART,
So this kind of filtering would be useful for example to look for special code statements (for example, ports, signal assignments, arrays, defines...).
Moreover, an option could be added to save some user customizable filters which could be used between sessions (for example by selecting them through a listbox).
Finally, it would be great to make the selected filter persistent so that at every search, the results are automatically filtered, if chosen to do so.
This would make NppGTags code browsing even more powerful, in my opinion.
