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?
Am I only the only person who thinks this? Do other Mac programmers
think XCode is the greatest thing every created and that anyone who
complains about it is being unfair? If so, I apologize.
