prefer separate search and replace options settings

(1/1)

Using 16.01 on Linux

When porting code I do a lot of search and replace. When searching I most often use the Regular expression option but when doing replace I usually want match case on whole word. Having the options settings shared between both means I regularly fail to find something because the options are still set for doing a replace.

It would be better if the options settings for search and replace are separate.

BlueHazzard:
From what search are you talking (provide the exact path because there exist a lot search function in codeblocks)?
From what option are you talking about?
Have you tried thread search plugin? it is only for searching, but you have to install contribute-plugin package from your favorite package manager

He is talking about ctrl-f and ctrl-r dialogs.

ok, now i understand and can replicate it.
This seems really annoying. Is there a reason why this is implemented like this (from a usability point of view or a logic point of view)?

This should not be to hard to code...

oBFusCATed:
My guess is that this is by design done in this way.
It reuses the settings and controls.
If it is better or worse, I don't know.
I'm sure there will be users for both variants...
