Hi,
Kate is amazing and I am using it as a daily driver. I use the kate build plugin to manage my targets, and basically do cross platform development within Kate. The only problem is the build output tend to spew out a lot of log, and some of them aren’t picked up by the error/warning regex, and therefore don’t show up in diagnostics or whatnot. It’s not a big deal, the big deal is I can’t really search for these errors. It’s quite weird for an output window to NOT support search, and so I cloned Kate down and went to take a look, and indeed there is search - it is just hidden:
<widget class="QWidget" name="search" native="true">
<property name="visible">
<bool>false</bool>
</property>
...
I thought there was some hidden keyboard shortcuts, but I didn’t find any, nor did I find anyway to bring it up in code. So why was it hidden, and can I bring it up somehow?
