IDE idea: double-clicking gives a "quick find" auto selection

Status: Completed

Hi ElectroLund,

 

Thank you for the idea! This has been implemented in the latest version of LabWindows/CVI, LabWindows/CVI 2017. Feel free to go download and try out the feature: http://www.ni.com/download/labwindowscvi-full-development-system-2017/6617/en/

 

Thank you again for the idea - we look forward to hearing more from you!

 

Regards,

Doing a CTRL+F and finding all instances of a word works, but is a lot of steps.  I tend to use Notepad++ a lot for my IDE and it has this really handy feature.  If you double-click a word, it will highlight that and all other instances of that word inside that one open file.  This is like a "quick find" that saves a lot of time.  See attached image to get the idea.  The darkest highlight is the one instance that was double-clicked.

Oh sweet!  Nice implementation too.  Now I can stay inside the CVI IDE more.  😉
