Hi,
I’m playing around withe the new, awsome features of V7, just to get familiar with.
One feature is announced to be a search panel in the PCB editor.
I can’t find it!
@paulvdh There is a bug(?), however. Ctrl+G brings up the search panel, but Ctrl+G does not hide it (as it should) unless you click into an area outside the panel. ‘First hotkey selects tool’ does not change that. Can you confirm that?
Confirmed.
But it’s only as long as the search text entry box has focus [Ctlr + g]. If I select some line in one of the four tabs, then [Ctrl + g] does again hide the panel when depressed.
In addition, the search string only shows exact results. If you type the first few letters, then the results are “empty”, until you add an asterisk. This is different (and thus inconsistent) from for example the fuzzy search while adding schematic symbols. That has a live update while you are entering characters.
