Adding Search to the FirefoxDebugger
Firefox(8y ago)
Seaching in a document cmd+f has been a surprisingly hard feature to get right in the Debugger. On the surface, it seems like it should be simple, but there are a lot of subtle interactions that make it difficult to get right. Here is a quick spec that helped me document the feature.
#Queries
- typing/deleting query
- should search after each character, index
- the index and count should be correct
- the match should be to right of the cursor
#Iterating
- (enter/shift enter | cmd+g/cmd+shift+g)
- increments and decrements by one
- wraps from first to last of the list and vice versa
- moving the cursor
- updates the match and index to be to the right of the cursor
#Mouse Actions
- click on document
- cmd+g should research from that location.
- cmd+f should refocus the search bar with the current query
- search bar should search from the cursor location
- select text
- cmd+f should update the query of the search bar
- cmd+g should search from that location with the current query
