Sublime text. Keep find in files panel open after running search and/or replace operation

Question

I am using Find in files functionality of sublime text regularly (default key binding Ctrl+Shift+F)

Pannel can be hidden by hitting Esc

Whenever I hit Find the pannel itself disappears after operation is performed. It can be called again by hitting Ctrl+Shift+F

I wonder if this behavior can be changed so that panel is permanently visible and does not disappear during search operation unless explicitely closed by hitting Esc.

• harrymc: Which operating system?
• Art Gertner: Windows 10 enterprise
• harrymc: See if the answers in this post also solve the problem, especially the accepted answer.
• Art Gertner: Thanks @harrymc, I read this post while doing my initial research. This does not answer my question. I also attempted to adapt solution to my case but it does not seem to work. The difference is that post you linked is related to an action triggered by shortcut. For action that I am looking at there appears to be no shortcut. It is a button on the panel... Please correct me if I am wrong.
• harrymc: You are right. I see that there exist many posts for the same problem, but with no solution. Perhaps someone else knows a solution that isn't a kludge (like automatic Ctrl+Shift+F).

Answer 1

I was looking for soemthing similar and I found these settings:

// This determines whether the find panel is closed when the "Find All"
// or "Replace All" buttons are pressed. Note this does not change the
// keybinding behavior.
"close_find_after_find_all": true,
"close_find_after_replace_all": true,

Go to Sublime Text -> Settings (On a mac) and type this in the right hand side frame:

{
 // This determines whether the find panel is closed when the "Find All"
 // or "Replace All" buttons are pressed. Note this does not change the
 // keybinding behavior.
 "close_find_after_find_all": false,
 "close_find_after_replace_all": false
}

I changed the true to false and saved the settings. Et Voilà!
