@paul-griffith I dont' if it's intentional but in Designer when we search in Stylesheet.css with Ctrl+F, the find/replace windows is open.

The search dialog used for script would be more suitable.

Not intentional, I just wasn't the one who added the stylesheet so it's missing some niceties for editing 🙂

I won't presume to put a timeline on it but I can add this to an existing ticket to polish up the stylesheet editor.

It would be a highly appreciated nice touch, if you rolled this out @PGriffith 🙂

Yes indeed. I have a very lengthy stylesheet and every time I need to find something I have to copy/paste the entire contents into Notepad++, do my search, then find it by figuring out how far down into the file it is...

I've bumped the internal ticket a bit in priority (thanks to the ideas post) but there's not a lot more I can do at the moment, unfortunately. Someday I'll have a month with no distractions to work through "minor" bug fixes like this in the designer 😮‍💨

I try to organize my classes in alphabetical order, I am thinking about moving to The Dewey Decimal system 😃

Jokes aside, we could use vscode to develop but the designer has been easier to navigate when building for perspective.

Thanks Ryan for the link, I voted ➕

Thank you Paul.
