[TxMt] just one wish: tell me when a search wraps

[Matt Neuburg]

If I could have just one wish, it is that TextMate would tell me when I repeatedly Find Next and the search wraps around. That way, I'd know when I've inspected every occurrence in the document, instead of inspecting the same ones four or five times before I realize I've seen all this before. m.

It already does this. After wrapping, it shows a 'Search Wrapped' tooltip
underneath the first match

I agree its not easy to notice sometimes though, maybe a sound notification
would help

I believe you need to have the ‘Wrap around’ check box in the search window (⌘F) ticked for that to happen.

Best regards,

It does sometimes show that tooltip, but it is very small, and it definitely does NOT show it most of the time. I think the problem is that I am navigating by repeatedly clicking Find in the Find dialog. Try it that way and you'll see that there is no sort of notification when you wrap. m.

I'm seeing this too. It seems the tooltip only appears when TM editor has
the input focus (which it never does when you're clicking Next in Find
Dialog).

If you open Find dialog, focus TM and then use CMD+G it does appear

Correct, the various search action tool tips do not show when the dialog
is used since the dialog has its own status bar for these (though the
“did wrap” message is eclipsed by the “found match” message).

I want to do one of those bezel displays for other things, once we have
that, and a “wrap around” vector image, it should be simple to add a
better indicator for wrap around (and in the cards).
