⚄︎ 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.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • 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.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

[Request] Editor search next/previous (self.perchance)

Currently to go through each match, I have to use ctrl+f, enter over and over which is awkward and tedious. Would be great if that line at the top stayed and let us press enter over and over to get to the next match. Perhaps shift+enter to go to the previous match. And little buttons in there to do the same.

Right now, finding stuff in my code is a pretty annoying process.

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.

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 😅).

Using ctrl+f while 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 enter will 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.

Ah--great job 👍

One thing I notice is shift+enter does not go to the previous match. I think that's how it work in most applications.

Thanks! Fixed
