Bug ID: 455865
Summary: Quick Open: search for contiguous string
Product: kate
Version: 22.04.1
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: groszdaniel...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Please make it easier to search for a string as a contiguous substring of a
file name in the Quick Open tool.
Currently, the tool displays any file that contains the characters entered in
the same order, not necessarily as a contiguous substring. This is sometimes
useful, but it makes it difficult to search for a short word in a big project,
because it sometimes also find dozens of files unrelated to the word whose name
happens to contain its letters.
You could add an option to the context menu, but I think it would be even
better to just list files that contain the text as a substring first (if there
are any), and then the files that only contain the characters non-contiguously.
