CoolTerm: find feature as floating field that highlights result

Post by cjoecker »

First of all, thanks for the great terminal you created. I love the new version!

Would it be possible to make the find function a floating field, not a popup, and that it highlights all the results?
cutecom-ng has that function and is very useful when waiting for a log.

Hi,

highlighting all search results is currently not possible because the plain text control used to display serial data can only have one selection.

The next version of CoolTerm will have a new feature that can format keywords. You could use this to select a specific format for your search term, and CoolTerm will then apply that formatting all instances of that term in the displayed data.
