[Feature] Let highlight and action trigger as a filter

[keai4le]

Feature

I have a use case:
When I enable a highlight and action trigger, I'd like the highlighting lines to show at filtered view.

Is that possible to realization?

Do you mean, you want the highlights and triggers also be active in the filter view?

Dear Hirogen,

I'd like the highlight words also be filtered at the same time, maybe let it as a option(checkbox).

e.g.
I have a trigger for two words: "foo", "bar"

And there's a log file, it's content:

03-09 17:36:12.303 2377 2988 I xxxx: line1
03-09 17:36:12.303 1396 3263 D foo: line2
03-09 17:36:12.303 1396 3263 D bar: line3
03-09 17:36:12.303 1396 3263 D ddddd: line4
03-09 17:36:12.303 2377 2988 I ssss: foo, bar line5

when I enable the trigger, I want those 3 lines in filtered view automatically
03-09 17:36:12.303 1396 3263 D foo: line2
03-09 17:36:12.303 1396 3263 D bar: line3
03-09 17:36:12.303 2377 2988 I ssss: foo, bar line5

The filter should support regex, could you give it a try, if that fits your needs?

Maybe I do not yet understand your requirement :)

Sure, the filter support regex.
But we have to enable the trigger and fill the filter field then click "search" in my use case.
And I have to save the regrex string at 2 places:

Now, I want to merge all work flow into: "enable the trigger" and all things done. :)

Ah I understand, you want the text filter to have all the highlight and trigger actions as a selectable text

Not sure if that is feasible, but those are actually two different features, that probably should not be combined.

The Filter-Dialog needs a major rework for UI and dropdown selection, so the user knows which texts are highlights and which are not.

The filter texts are saved across sessions, you can change the amount of saved filters in the settings
