NetBeans 6.0 Milestone 5 compatible CopyFQN Module

In this entry I blogged about the CopyFQN module. Until such time that I set up a separate update center for NetBeans 6.0 Milestone 5+ modules I am making the NBM for a compatible CopyFQN module here. Just download the CopyFQN NBM and install it using the Tools:Update Center:Install Manually Downloaded Modules (.nbm Files).

UPDATE: Firefox(TM) style Incremental Search Sidebar module

About 10 days ago I blogged about the Incremental Search Toolbar. Based on the feedback I received, I modified the module to create Firefox (TM) style popular Incremental Search Sidebar.

I have uploaded the Incremental Search Sidebar module to my Netbeans update center described here. This replaces the Incremental Search Toolbar.

The Incremental Search Sidebar mostly works the same way as the Incremental Search Toolbar. The only difference is that each editor has its own Incremental Search Sidebar. I removed the Search Backwards check box also.

The Incremental Search Sidebar is not implemented as an action registered through a layer file. Therefore the standard mechanism i.e. Tools:Options:Keymap cannot be used to modify the key binding. Hence I have updated the module to let you configure the keybinding - Tools:Options:Miscellaneous:Incremental Search.

Incremental Search Toolbar module uploaded

OBSOLETE

The tool bar based variant of the Incremental Search module is now obsolete. Use the sidebar based version.

I have uploaded the Incremental Search Toolbar module to my Netbeans update center described here.

This module installs the Incremental Search Toolbar.

Typing Ctrl+/ puts the focus in the incremental search text field in the Incremental Search Toolbar. If there was text in the incremental search text field, it is preselected. You can start typing the text to search and the matching text will be highlighted in the current editor. The search text is shown in red color when no matching text is found. Typing ENTER or Ctrl+/ again,  finds the next match. Typing Shift+ENTER finds the previous match. Typing ESCAPE puts the focus back in current editor. The Find Next and Find Previous do what they imply.The Search Backwards check box searches the text in backward direction. The Match Case check box controls whether the case of text is considered while searching.
