Everything has text search. Either through advanced search menu or through content:”text” - though not an indexed search. Or did you mean OCR text search on images?

Im there with you, my wife as well as myself are in fact like your girlfriend and I work an highly educated software engineering role. I simply don’t care, still on my iPhone 11 Pro Max which I got as a present from my parents at the time.

I think battery power drain is even not fast enough for phone companies to sustain the selling Model. My guess is sooner or later they realize the real control point is software updates and they forcefully shorten OS and specially OS security updates under a bullshit reason they still can get away with to get us all back in line of buying regular phone upgrades in fear of hacked internet banking.

All posts I read on VIM always compare to a barebone editor without proper refactoring plugins enabled it seems. Would love to see a proper comparison against state of the art refactoring and against a skilled user of those systems.

First one for instance with resharper plugin enabled or in any IntelliJ IDE: Ctrl R R, type new word. Bonus; replaces all instances of the variable and recognizes scope in the file so if you have two locals with the same name over two methods it would change only the one you want. You want all, multi-carrot expansion Ctrl D D until you hit what you want and replace. Multi Carret is so powerful, find a repeating pattern, can be anything and even if it occurs further down where you don’t want to change just stop hitting expansion. Sure, you can do the same with VIM but comparing VIM to modern refactoring plugins is way more fair.

Things like extract method, extract variable and replace all instances at once are also one keybind away.

I giggled at "This extension does not contain any malicious or tracking code. No viruses. No ads. Only good software.". If only everybody added this statement we would not have malicious addons.

On point but C# is now widely available on any OS under .NET (core) iso .NET Framework. It should be included in the shortlist in my opinion.
