Show search results in minimap

#1

I used CTRL-f to find some line in a file I was working in, and had to scroll a little bit away from there. I could easily find it again this time, but a nice feature would be if all locations where a string was found could be marked in the minimap. Then it would be get an overview of about where in the file the found string is.

Edit Saw now that the searches already are highlighted in the minimap too. But maybe it could be more visible? Very easy to miss right now I think.

I agree this would be awesome! Chrome does a similar thing and it’s very handy. I know it happens as-is, but you can’t really tell the difference unless you’re looking at the minimap for differences when it changes. a brighter highlight color should do the trick!

If it’s a word you’re searching for, just make sure “match_selection” is enabled. Then select the word you’re looking for and the occurrences will be outlined in the view and the minimap.
