Highlight results on scrollbar

[surdu]

It would be nice to have this feature as in Chrome or other editors: when you search something, the position of the search results would be highlighted on the scrollbar to see where you have to scroll to see those results.

You can essentially get this now by installing minimap and minimap-find-and-replace. Does that about cover what you're looking for?

No. That occupies way to much horizontal screen real-estate. What I'm looking for is something more like this:

Visual Studio Code has that functionality. As the VSCode and Atom are Electron-powered, it might be a quick job to the code and turn into an Atom package.

Just tried out minimap for this, but its not the same. You have to scroll in order to see the occurence in the file, whereas this feature would show all occurrences in the bar itself. Much more useful than a minimap concept.

Any update on this?

I downloaded the scroll-searcher package too (and installed fine after restarting atom), but it throws this error and doesn't work.

It took a while but it's finally here. I give you: find-scroll-marker.

As a bonus, I've also created scroll-marker that provides a service that other packages (like the one mentioned above) can use to add other markers to the scroll bar. Documentation pending and API improvements are needed, but it's a start.
