Extending the Find glyphs feature

gor.jious · February 28, 2023, 11:50pm

When using the Find (⌘ F) feature to search for glyphs, can it extend beyond the glyph that was typed to show all the variants?

For example, if I type վ (vew-arm) can it also show vew-arm.long, vew-arm.ss01, vew_now-arm.liga etc…

I tried the hidden search options (All, Name, Unicode) under the magnifying glass but it still only displays the typed glyph.

This is a typical case when it becomes a bit tedious to switch to the Latin keyboard to type the name of the glyph to see all the variations, select the glyphs, then switch back.

That works for me. You can select them with Tab and Shift-arrows.

This is what I get.

When I type վ I only see the typed letter

I think it would be more useful to see all the related letters which share the name of the letter (vew without the -arm).

In the same way that if you type an f then you see ligatures/alternates.

The “f” is the char and the name at the same time. That’s why it works there. I’ll have a look.

Done.
