I would like to have a search function in the stylesheet editor, so I do not have to copy the entire style to Microsoft Word before I can do a search.


Ferious,

The top right Search works on stylesheet editor.

If you open the stylesheet editor and then go to the Search and type your "search text" there should be a option to search on stylesheet. 

After that use F3 to search for next or Shift + F3 to search for previous.

Hi Abilio Matos, 

First of al, thanks for your valuable input.

Is it not more user-friendly to show a search functionality on the screen itself? Several developers have indicated that they do not know how to search in the CSS file.

Ferious,

Agree that it isn't the most user-friendly, but I would say that the stylesheet editor isn't user-friendly, at least for me.

That popup editor should be reviewed.

I would go a bit further and suggest to have a left-side navigation panel in style sheet editor, like we have in Microsoft Word, whose content is fed by the document's headings and sub-headings.

In the style sheet editor's case, the navigation panel's content could be fed by special comment tags.

Dear Ricardo,


That would indeed be even more convenient!

Hopefully Outsystems does something with the idea.

Merged this idea with 'Search and replace functionality for CSS editor' (created on 26 Nov 2018 10:20:23 by Sampsa Sohlman)

Hi,

All when you touch the CSS files and as OutSystems Service Studio has spitted the functionality for several views. It would be nice to be able to search directly from the editor specific texts from all views. Sometimes you might wonder, where the CSS class has been defined and takes too long time to find out.

Text search and replace functionality with Regexp support would be really for Service Studio CSS editor.

Merged this idea with 'Searching For A Particular CSS tag .' (created on 20 Feb 2019 05:57:49 by Pranav Pandey)

Currently in order to search for a CSS tag we need to do it using the universal search section , that search the whole application module . 

It would be nice the have a search function for a particular CSS tab .

Merged this idea with 'Ability to find and replace CSS in Styles' (created on 09 Jun 2020 18:46:44 by Sienna)

Currently it is not possible to do a find (and consequently a find and replace) for CSS code within the Styles panel.

It would be really helpful if this was a feature.

Merged this idea with 'Search option in OutsystemsUI theme style sheet' (created on 30 Jul 2020 09:31:39 by Sanjay Kumar Sahu)

There should be a search box inside the OutsystemsUI theme panel, so we can search a CSS class easily and override it for customization. As of now we have to scroll down to find any CSS class which takes lots of time.
