2 requests for "Find in Files"

Hi there,

I posted this once in another thread, but I thought it was worth its own one.

In my opinion, "Find in files" is a very good feature, but the way, the results are displayed is bad.

Request 1:
Espacially when working with only one screen, the results-window is enerving.
My wish would be to setup the compiler results listview on a PanelGadget with additional Tabs.
- A listview, perhaps treeview (sort search results per file) that doesn't need an additional window
- In the future, this would give the possibility to show additional tabs of whatever (Gadgets, Imagepreview on mouseover filepath etc. etc.)

Request 2:
When some text is selected and you press Strg+Shift+F, the Search Window pops up with the selected Text as string to search for.
I'm working with 2 screens, so I never close that window but leave it on the other screen.
Now, when selecting another text and pressing Str+Shift+F, the search window gets the focus but doesn't get the selected text as text to search for.
My wish:
-Whenever the dialogue is called, set the text as defaulttext, unimportant if the searchwindow is already open or not.
-IMHO, the search window could close afterwards, it's no longer needed.


Please check and add.

Best regards

Franky
