Text search plugin for Sublime Text 3 projects. This is an alternative to the default "Find in files" command that comes with Sublime Text. It includes an interactive result view and a configurable search thread that runs in the background.
The plugin is tested on Windows and Linux but should also work on macOS. To install it from https://packagecontrol.io/ do the following:
- Open the command palette and find "Package Control: Install Package"
- Search for FindInProject and install.
To install from GitHub do the following:
- Locate Sublime Text packages folder by choosing Preferences -> Browse Packages... in the menu
- Clone or download git repository into a new folder named "FindInProject" under the packages folder
All configuration is available through the Preferences->Package Settings->FindInProject menu. This includes
- Default settings which can be copied into the user settings and then changed
- Default keymap which can overridden in the user keymap
- Default color scheme which can be copied into the user color scheme and then changed
The settings include options for
- Encodings to try
- Maximum line length in result view
- Directories and file extensions to ignore
- File sizes to ignore
- Excessive hit count (to cancel large searches)
- and more (descriptive comments are included in the settings file)
In normal contexts (using the default keymap) the following shortcut is available.
