QuickLineNavigator - Accurate + fuzzy search

#1

Hey guys, a brand new toy is ready:

Accurate-search the matched lines & further fuzzy-search their sublines - from all 4 scopes.

Among its curious attributes are: incremental search, cross-scope keyword retention (even writing them to the clipboard), considerate jumps to the beginning of designated sub-lines, “well-placed” emoji prompts, a blend of underlining, outlining, and background highlighting, as well as a few unrefined log outputs that have yet to be optimized, and concurrent highlighting within the right-hand “minimap” that has yet to be implemented. In short, you have probably never encountered such a monstrous plugin!

I am also attempting to refine the search for Chinese phrases, though I have made little progress thus far — apart from handling Chinese punctuation as delimiters.

I don’t know how to describe this weird stitching monster plugin, just know it’s a roughly qualified toy.

If it happens to be useful to you, you are truly the chosen one :-)))

Articles vs Codes: The principal reason for launching this project is my reliance on ST for LaTeX writing rather than coding. The default line-level search remains overly coarse, prompting me to pursue a more refined, granular searching approach within ST. As is the case for some novelists, I too face the challenge of dealing with disproportionately lengthy lines.

PS: Since version v0.5.5, this toy has evolved into what appears to be a production-level tool. One may now rightly call it a utility and test its lightning-fast :zap: fine-grained search capabilities along with its remarkably few bugs. At the same time, it remains highly entertaining in itself — even when tinkered with aimlessly — which is why I still enjoy calling it a toy (instead of a tool).

Please don’t hesitate to bring up any issues! Take advantage of the fact that my enthusiasm for it still runs high — haha!
