Automatic: Erase Find Highlight The Find Highlight feature is interesting, though I find it annoying more so than helpful in many cases.
I'd like to see an option, if possible, on the Find Dialog: Quote: [X] Erase Find Highlight on Close. Thanks. |

Re: Automatic: Erase Find Highlight Hi CrashNBurn,
Thanks for your comments! You can also set "0" in the Character Space text box in the Display tab of configuration properties. Thanks!

Re: Automatic: Erase Find Highlight That particular setting [ character space: 0 ] appears to increase the spacing between each character of your current font...
The request was to have a checkbox on the Find-Dialog that can be easily toggled on/off so that when the Find-Dialog is closed the Find Highlights get cleared (when checked) and not cleared (when not checked). |

Re: Automatic: Erase Find Highlight Hi CrashNBurn,
I am sorry. I mean "Search Colors" text box, not "Character Space" in the Display tab of configuration properties. Thanks!

Re: Automatic: Erase Find Highlight I didn't want to disable the Find Highlight.
My request was to to automatically clear the Find Highlight when the Find Dialog was closed -- if a checkbox on the find dialog was checked: [x] Clear Highlights. I solved it with AutoHotKey. The original AHK solution was Kludgy and didn't work consistently. Perhaps someone else will find some use for it. Fixed clean code: |

Re: Automatic: Erase Find Highlight I quite like the way Notepad++ does this particular feature. As soon as you select a piece of text that could be an identifier, it will highlight all nearby matches, and when you deselect again the highlight is removed.
It is quite convenient for quickly seeing places a variable is referenced in a source file. |

Re: Automatic: Erase Find Highlight Hello Jibz,
I might add that feature in future versions of EmEditor. Thanks for your comments!

Re: Automatic: Erase Find Highlight I updated my AHK fix for this,
1) Automatically Clear the Find Highlight when you Click [Close] on the Find|Replace dialog. 2) Does NOT clear the Find highlight if: ---> you press keyboard {ESC} or ---> click [X] on Titlebar. or ---> Shift+Click, or Ctrl+Click. |
