Bug ID: 418726
Summary: Caret does not match the beginning of a line
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: hpf...@psnarf.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you enter '^' in the find/replace in the find ui QLineEdit widget, no
matches are found. You should be able to insert a string at the beginning of a
line. It works if you include the first character of the line, you can insert
the replace string at the beginning of the line with the fist char appended to
the replace, but with different first chars, that is not an option.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Type a caret into the find linedit widget
2. Type a string in the replace linedit widget
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
No matches found.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a match at the beginning of each line in the file so you don't
have to resort to `sed 's/^/somestring/'`.
