CodeWarrior lets me see the results of multiple searches
simultaneously. This is especially useful on project or
directory wide searches which I use to display all instances of a
search term throughout an entire project. The problem is, I find
it quite useful to keep multiple search results around, and to
even tile them on my screen and view them simultaneously.
Is there any way to do this in XCode? There appears to be only
one search or project-search window.
Each project-wide search turns up in the "Find Results" group in
the project window. You can have one search open in the project
window, and one in the search window (by double-clicking the
project listing entry). The results in the project window keep
their scroll state, so you can switch between them without too
much hair-tearing.
Good suggestion. Thank you. I see how that works. It isn't
nearly as versatile as CodeWarrior of course, which would preserve
the selected block of code in its own window, and could display
countless searches simultaneously, but it should help.
<sigh> There are so many things I miss about CodeWarrior. It's
syntax coloring is so much more diverse, the cursor was actually
visible against a black background, the global search window
enabled not only project search but also directory search and
accepted regular expressions, and now this lack of multiple search
windows issue...so many nuances are missing from XCode. It's a
mature product now, it's several years old. Shouldn't these kinds
of "extra" features be in XCode by now?
Ah, right, I remember now that I found a way solutions to some of the
search complaints above actually. Nevertheless, the invisible cursor
and limited syntax coloring remain unsolved, or I have failed to find
the features/commands/settings that would fix them.
Nevermind...some.
Cheers!
