Search++ version 0.7

Search++ is a work in progress. Testing is ongoing and serious bugs may be present. Use with caution. That said, your feedback is welcome and very much appreciated. There is a discussion topic in the Notepad++ community, or you can create a GitHub issue. There is a help file.

• Use different styles for Mark and Show. This helps keep Mark and Show cleanly separated, and it makes Always hide all lines and remove Show style from text before Show command behave more as one would expect with the default scope Show command, without introducing an inconsistency with the way other default scope commands behave.

• Add several commands to the Tools menu, including support for the new Show style and more ability to manipulate Marked text. Some shortcuts have changed: most underlined menu characters and associated shortcut keys now match.

• Expand visible on the Tools menu gives a rudimentary ability to show context for matches when using the Show command. Each expand visible action adds a line to the beginning and end of each visible block of text.

• Add Find, Replace and Show tools to the main plugin menu. These commands are not very useful from the menu itself, but adding them makes it possible to set Notepad++ keyboard shortcuts for them.

• Correct a fault in Show All Lines from the Tools menu that caused unexpected scrolling behavior. Improve the logic for vertical positioning when using Show All Lines.

To install Search++ download Search++-0.7-x86.zip or Search++-0.7-x64.zip, depending on whether you're using 32-bit or 64-bit Notepad++. Unzip the file to a folder named Search++ (the name must be exactly that, or Notepad++ will not load the plugin) and copy that folder into the plugins directory where Notepad++ is installed (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins for 32-bit versions or C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins for 64-bit versions).
