Seneca Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It seems that RE in .619 is unable to find the right tab. I can successfully find the right tab with the "Normal" search. Also there is an issue with some icons that appear in the search field when looking for special chars: Some icons that come up in the search field are just an oval (circle). It's impossible to know what that char represents. Below are special search chars that have the same empty icon: Right Indent Tab Indent to Here Column Break 0 Width Space Non Breaking Hyphen In addition the following have the same icons: Odd Page Break Even Page Break and: Em Space En Space It would be great if each icon represented a different search char. 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Personally, I think that Serif ought to use the syntax for its regex type and insert those codes versus these icon-looking things. People who use regex often enough will learn the syntax and that will always be quicker than using a mouse to insert an icon symbol. An added plus is that it makes helping someone with a grep f/r on the forum easier. fde101 and garrettm30 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my personal preference as well. I don't think it has to be one or the other. My suggestion would be to allow the dropdown to insert the icons, while the user could type the expression and the expression would be left as typed. That way it can appeal to both kinds of users.

I didn't want to rock the boat too much but I too would rather have RegEx for the regex searches. 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serif lets us leave feedback for a reason, and I respect them for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
