Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator
⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

Done - let me know if there are any issues. I kept putting this off because I figured that I'd upgrade to CodeMirror 6 soon, which I might, but it wasn't hard to add this anyway, so might as well, especially given how long I've been putting of the CodeMirror upgrade. Thanks!
Edit: Oh, there are indeed issues. I've broken syntax highlighting. Just a sec. -- Edit 2: Fixed.
Using
ctrl+fwhile already focused on the search box changes it to replace mode. Normally this would just select whatever's already in the search box. Even if it's not focused and there's no text highlighted in the page it always just selects whatever's in there.Changing is so now
enterwill change the text seems fraught with danger to me 😂Good point! Fixed.
When it doesn't find anything it scrolls to the top, which is annoying. Preferably it would just not scroll anywhere at all.
Also in dark mode the next is still a very dark grey, making it basically invisible.
Just noticed the new find and replace interface and I think it's much better than the old one! The close button is a bit off though, that's something that needs to be fixed.
When it loops back to the start, it scrolls so that the current match is at the bottom of the screen for some reason. And when it loops back to the end, it scroll so that the current match is at the top of the screen (which can be covered by the search dialogue too 😅).
Ah--great job 👍
One thing I notice is
shift+enterdoes not go to the previous match. I think that's how it work in most applications.Thanks! Fixed
