Coloring search results by "assigning" or "reading"
-
When searching for a symbol, results appear in the dedicated area at the bottom of the screen, highlighted in yellow.
For a brief period of time in the past (last few years), I was working with a Qt Creator version that was highlighting assignments in red and readings in blue.
Then I received another version and it was back to yellow - so it only lasted a few weeks or months.
I can't find an option for this that I could turn back on.
Is it even possible ? Did I dream ?

Hi @SuperSelrak,
it seems the feature is not the default one, because it is a bit slower.
You can use "Find References with Acces Type" in the right-click context menu to use it, and I think you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the action. By default there is none.

@aha_1980 Oh excellent ! Thank you very much ! Is it really that slow ? I guess I will see.
Hi @SuperSelrak,
I said "a bit slower". For my projects it does not make a difference, but your milage may vary.

@aha_1980 One issue. I do see that it is somewhat slow, so slower than instantaneous as far as human psychological time. And in some cases I can even see that some of the results only show up seconds later, after I have already started to open some of the results and dive into them. This is an issue because I might miss newcomers. Is there some way to know the search is still going, some progress bar or other clue that I might have missed in the UI ?

@SuperSelrak There is at least the "Cancel" button that stays present as long as the search is running (as long as there is still something to cancel). When it disappears, I deduce that the search has ended.

Hi @SuperSelrak,
I think that is an indication. As said, my projects are small so I don't have a performance penalty when searching with access type.
If you have suggestions for UI improvement, you should file a suggestion at bugreports.qt.io
