With vim, you view what you type when you do a search function with "/" in the console.
In vscode with vim-extension, you don't see what you type when you do "/", only the characters is hightlighting with colour.
Is it possible to have a box to view what you are typing with search function ?
The vim extension (VSCodeVim) displays the search bar in the lower left corner.

Is there a vim scrip to allow me to visually select a box, then put a box around it using digraphs?
For example, input:
Hello World
And the output after visual selection (and the calling the script)
┌─────────────┐
│ Hello world │
└─────────────┘
Thanks!
Interesting... I had to do a lot of those re-formatting, thus I wrote a script called "BlockIt", do exactly what you want I guess. And it can do more than that.
Check it out:
https://github.com/sk1418/blockit
Not tested but DrawIt (command \b) should do that.
Look at www.vim.org for other drawing scripts (link to my search results).
You can use visual block mode for this purpose.
Press Ctrl+V to enter visual mode.
Move arrows left, right, up and down to select your box. (If you wanted to interchange the ends, you can press Ctrl+O. I mean, we usually select through the bottom right end. If you want to switch to top left corner and select topside, you can use this)
Now, after making the selection to fit your desired box size, you can fill it with a character like #,* or whatever you want.
Press r# to replace the entire box with a #. You can put any character after r.
Now, your box is full of characters.
You want to type something inside! You can enter replace mode by pressing Insert twice.
Then, start typing your text . press Esc once done.
How to search while we type in Eclipse Mars? For example if we want to search something in Java file it Eclipse should highlight text as we are typing string to search.

Does Dreamweaver dotted lines to show code indentation like in this image?
No, Dreamweaver does not display code indention marks like your screenshot does. About the closest you might get would be to turn on Hidden Characters (View -> Code View Options -> Hidden Characters). With that you'd be able to see the tab characters, but it would be nowhere near as good as what you're looking for.
There are no dotted line tabs marks in Dreamweaver, but to make sure every opening brace has a corresponding closing brace in PHP, you can use the Balance Braces button on the left hand toolbar. It sort of looks like this: {|}
Yes.
Go to View
Select Code View Options
Check the Hidden Characters option
Hope it Helps..
How I can search within a specific block of code or selection in IntelliJ IDEA?
I got used to using this feature in Eclipse. In Eclipse you can just double click on the beginning of a curly bracket, and it'll highlight the entire block of code. After which you could do Command+f
(Ctrl+f on Windows) to search ONLY in the highlighted block, or you could just highlight whatever you need and search just that block of code.
Go to Settings | Keymap, search for the Find... action in the Other group. This action should have the following description:
Find a string in active editor, shows
modal dialog
Assign a keyboard shortcut to this action (you need to make a copy of default keymap to modify it), for example Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F.
When in editor, select any block of text, then press this shortcut, a dialog will open with the Scope automatically set to Selected text:
To quickly select the method body while standing on the opening curly brace use Ctrl+W.
As of 2020, I'm able to perform find in selection on PhpStorm
Select the block of text and hit Cmd + F on MacOS / Ctrl + F on other platforms
On the find toolbar (that appears on top) there's an In Selection button; use that to limit search scope to the selected text only
Here's the link to my original answer on JetBrains support forums
I'm using
PhpStorm 2020.1.2
Build #PS-201.7846.90, built on June 3, 2020
First select some text and press ctrl+R to open the dialog, then check the "in selection" option :
In current version, 2020.2, default for Find In Selection is Ctrl+Alt+E.
On IntelliJ in Mac:
In a file select the specific block in which we want to find something
Press CMD + F
Press CTRL + OPTION + G
Notice that the cursor has automatically landed in the find toolbar's text field
Type in what is intended to be found
Press enter to move the cursor to the first occurrence.
When in incremental search mode in Intellij IDEA, is there a way to select the rest of the word. For example, suppose I want to find the word “handleReservationGranted”. I type Ctrl-f to enter incremental search mode, and start typing the letters “han”. Now suppose I have found the beginning of “handleReservationGranted”. In my search box I have “han”, but I would now like to be able to select the rest of the word, so that the search box contains “handleReservationGranted” instead of “han”.
In Xemacs, I can type Ctrl-s, type “han”, and then type Ctrl-w. Now my search term is “handleReservationGranted”, and not “han”. So now if I press Ctrl-s, I find the next occurrence of “handleReservationGranted”.
Is there a similar feature in Intellij IDEA? The best I can do now is either to keep typing in the rest of the letters (dleReservationGranted), or exit incremental search, select the word with Ctrl-W, then enter search again with Ctrl-f.
I am using Intellij IDEA 7.0.3.
Yes, you can use autocomplete during an incremental search.
After you type "han", press CTRL-SPACE (autocomplete) and it will give you a list of potential matches in the file. Just pick "handleReservationsGranted" from the list and that will become your search term.
