.... I remember a wishlist bug
in bugzilla on moving the search/substitute/spellc-heck pop-up window to a
sidebar like the one most document editor (viewer) have.
I agree it's annoying with a search window on top sometimes, but OTOH I'm
not always fond of losing space on the side.
I'd prefer a search bar at the bottom like in firefox (and other apps).
Yes, that was my first idea too, but it wouldn't scale well to other
functions like substitute, spell-check, search-latex-errors...
I wanted to propose something that could be reusable for many
components of the lyx interface in a consistent way.
Search/replace is one thing, spellcheck is another, latex errors a third.
I don't think there is that much reuseability. Anyway, the TOC is
already a sidebar if reuse is possible.
The search is used often. Therefore, I don't want it to pop up on the side
unless absolutely necessary. Stuff on the side cause a rebreaking of lines,
taking time and messing up the screen for me. A search popping in at
the bottom merely makes the main window slightly shorter.
Also, the screen width is not unlimited. LyX with a math bar and the TOC on
the side doesn't leave room for more. (I never maximize LyX, I usually need
a web browser on the side for reference material, or at least room for
the pdf preview.)
