Provide a simple global search

[lmihalkovic]

Finding things in a project is not easy without forward knowledge of what to look for, and even then searching is still bound by the contents of a single source file. This feature would add simple global search (scope to be defined?! ideally would support ALL reachable source files, even if the result is initially only displayed in the search result popover when the file is not editable, but ideally, any of the source files should be at least VIEWABLE)

Proposed UI is the same as eclipse/intellij

Just testing what the user experience would be (popover arrow should be right aligned?!)

Alternatively could be done via a editor-centered popup.

The idea is to have an extensible mechanism to contribute different quick access contributors, each responding to one or more triggers (exact and partial matches). At the moment there are experimental contributors for the following

• sketch variables ( keywords "vars" "variables" - would be nice to jump to the definition when selecting )
• key bindings ( presents a partial list until more action related code is cleaned up )
• libraries ( "libs" "libraries" - at the moment lists all libraries and versions. could add 'installed libs' or 'all libs' )

Everything is running async and implementing a computer is dead simple

NOTE: presentation is still somewhat experimental

TODO

• enhance the vars contributor to display the name of the library where the variable originates from (good for first time learners)
• open library reference page when selecting a variable from a library

Show me code, or it didn't happen http://memegenerator.net/instance/30625023

@ffissore Not sure what you are asking me, but I'm sure it could be done with a smile :-)

This part is in APP

This part is in CORE (no, I did not add Token.XXXXX/RSTA lib as a dependency of CORE)

The presentation is currently in flux, and the final look I am trying to go for is something along the lines of the following two designs. I'll eventually push it to my fork when I like the result.

I appreciate that this is a creating a distraction from your tight schedule and will close this for now.

Nice screenshots of your code (well, actually of the file names). Mind to share the actual code? I mean the source code. Submitting a Pull Request is your best option to see your code included in Arduino https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/

@ffissore I do welcome constructive input if you feel like sharing any. I would prefer not to deal with sarcasms, but will make an effort to get used to it. This is the core input processor. I'll let you know when it's all in my fork

I use images simply because they usually reduce the need for accompanying written explanations while helping people get the true feel for how a UI works (design changes are a manageable burden if the code is cleanly structured)
