jump window text alignment

 

Sometimes the paths in the jump window are too long, and the matched page name might not be visible. For example, a search for "power-manager" might return

projects:software:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4
projects:software:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4

when the full paths are

projects:software:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4-power-manager
projects:software:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4-power-manager-plugins

(See attached screen shots.)

One option is just to make the jump window wider so that the full path is visible. However, this can be ungainly and is limited by screen size.

Would it be possible to right-align the matched text in the jump windows, as in the attached screenshot mockup?

A search for "power-manager" would return

are:bugs-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4-power-manager
-and-feature-requests:debian-sections:xfce:xfce4-power-manager-plugins

This way, the matching text would always be visible.

Alternately,


Nathaniel Beaver
