      Yea, Ruby would do a byte search and that should work. But if you do any modifications then it'll easily break.

        Just gave it a try. Great potential.
        Looked for Vertex Tools: The only thing that was listed was Insert Vertex. I chose that and it brings up Vertex Tools Toolbar, not just Insert Vertex.
        I'll keep experimenting and look forward to further developments 👍

          Are you searching in Ruby or Javascript, Andreas?

          I had implemented the exact search algorithms in JavaScript and Ruby. Ruby was significantly faster (but it shouldn't be any effort to switch to JavaScript).

          I tried it with Unicode characters (that Ruby interpretes as two bytes) and it worked well. It seemed to me that it doesn't matter whether Ruby sees a double byte character or two single bytes, if the search word and the scanned string contain both the same Unicode characters (or double/multiple bytes).
          I'll do more tests.

                  Nice plugin!

                  I like having as few toolbars visible as it is possible. Also, many times, one or two functions of any plugin is all I use, but I have to keep the entire toolbar visible. This plugin solves the problem.

                  One question:
                  Is there a way to switch between icons and text. Not all of the plugins I use have toolbars/icons. It would be nice to have text instead of icons, as an option. And, can the text be a bit smaller and not in bold.

                  Thanks a lot!!!!

                      Hi Aerilius,

                      this 1.0.2 version works on mac now !
                      (but the LaunchUp-Option dialog pops up empty and white like in the version before)

                      And there are two more issues
                      1_
                      The number of suggestions I can type in the preferences shows time the same result of 10.
                      No matter if I type in 25 or whatever -> the results have a number of 10 only!

                      2_
                      The "dialog stay after execute a command" isn´t working.
                      After enable this -> the next time is unable like before.

                      Additional note:
                      The LaunchUp window fit to the smallest state if enabled LaunchUpagain, but only after executing a command. After then, I must drag it out (make it bigger) manually to see the last results and preferences button/field.
                      If I look only in the preferences and close these -> next time I enable LaunchUp again -> the dialog shows the preference button line and the last results.

                      Hope you can fix this all also

                      Best regards,
                      Thomas

                        Hi Caronte,
                        thank you for the translations!

                        A toolbar usually has icons and not text. In the screenshot, the history's style is set to "toolbar" and text that you see is rather a "fallback" for plugins that don't have an icon. You can change the style of the history to something else with icon + text by typing "LaunchUp Options" 😉
                        I'll look how I can optimize the toolbar style to display better readable text without breaking the layout of a toolbar. Any ideas are welcome.

                        Hi Thomas,
                        thanks, I have already received your PM, and have begun working on some changes that could maybe improve it on OS X. Though at the moment, the sun is shining (maybe the first time this winter) and it's not so easy to test without owning a mac.

                          Thanks, that fixed the issue. One thing is that behavior preferences are not saved between sessions, or even between closing and opening the launchup window

                              Maybe add a load trap if one package is missing - display a better error message?

                                Finally got around to try out this gem. 😄

                                But I'm a little puzzled by the search results some times. It appear to include results not matching my search. ❓

                                  What package missing?

                                  At the moment, the search is a bit too tolerant (ie. it gives abbreviations too much weight, like "S… and"). Today evening I'll have a new version ready.

                                    In my case I was a bit quick in getting started and didn't install the command package. 😳 I didn't RTFM. 😒

                                          I updated the plugin to version 1.0.4:
                                          • I added Chinese and Spanish translations (thanks to caronte01, 麦兜 and 双鱼)
                                          • the options should not break anymore with invalid input
                                          • the webdialog resizing is better on OS X
                                          • the search gives now significantly better matching results
                                          • Fredo's tools didn't get into the index, now they are there

                                            may be 2 problems?
                                            the Apply & Cancel buttons of LaunchUpOptions webdialog have failed.
                                            the Search dialog size adjusted to min_width incorrectly sometimes.
