What's the colour scheme for no line highlight?

[TimB]

Hi,

What is the best colour scheme so the current edited line shows no highlight?

I set it to what I thought was white i.e no highlight but all that happens is text disappears as the text seems always to be set to white as well.

Thanks

Tim

Edit I think I have it now, set highlight text to a dark colour

Edit again

No its still can make the text disappear
------------------------------------------------------------

What I want to replicate is the ease of searching as in the Proton IDE

Double click a word: It highlights it
Press F3 it searches for the next instance
Press F3 again it finds the next instance

move the cursor to off the text it removes the highlight

What is happening in Positron studio is
Double click  some text: It highlights it
Press F3 it might find the next instance or it might force you to say yes to searching from the top
It will also highlight other instances. Some may be visible some may not
Click away from the text and it leaves the others still highlighted, some text may be visible some not
Double click a new word and it highlights that but leaves the original still highlighted
Press F3 and it will find the next instance but the cursor will not be on any of the highlighted instances it will be on another line not highlighted

Its getting to be a deal breaker. I need to sort this.

You can turn the active line highlight off in options. You don't need to mess around with colours.  With show active line unchecked you will only see the marker in the left hand gutter.

Quick Search, I introduced this over a year ago at your request, this is the first feedback I have had.
1 If you set search to Wrap round you should not get prompt search from the top.
2 When you double click a word and press F3 all occurrences of that word will be highlighted so as you scroll, even those which are not in view. If you think that is undesirable I will add an option to only highlight the first item.
3 Moving away from the text should remove the highlights, that is a bug, I will look at that.
4 The cursor should follow the next highlighted text, if that doesn't happen I its bug and I will look at that.

Hi John,

the search does seem a bit difficult/flaky to me, but Tim has been more specific.

What would be really useful to me would be able to search for text in any of the multiple open documents, which is what I often have to do. Like Notepad++ does. When doing such a search I noticed that what was being searched for changed sometimes as I selected different documents. It seemed to be remembering a previous search on some documents. Is that intentional?

@JohnL
If your files are in a project you can search across all documents in the project.
Highlight a word to search for, Ctr+F, Check Current Project and you will get a tree of all occurrences in the messages window. 
You can navigate to them from there.

I have now made the following changes:

• Quick Search will now always wrap round
• The cursor will now go to the start of the next search item not the line after.
• Clicking anywhere on the document will cancel the Quick Search.
• If  you have other pages open moving to another tab will continue the search  on the new page.

I have left the highlighting of all occurrences in because I think it is a useful aid.

If any of you guys is prepared to test this I will send you a link.
As I have only just released a new version publication will have to await the next release.
