Features

Replacing lines inside both content and code can be done simultaneously with focused replaced. Search for something you want to change then tweak all the lines at the same time. Either by replacing line by line or everything at once. Big refactoring is made really simple this way and allows iteration to be much faster.

Tabs

Keep track of your work state with multiple tabs, allowing for multiple searches to exist side by side. A widget that allows for switching to and from your latest tabs makes keeping track of what you are doing so much easier.

Realtime results

Workflow

After your result has been found open your favorite editor from Hawkeye and continue on the found line instantly. No more hazzle when finding things your downtime is reduced to zero and you have more fun while working.

Editing

Editing is supported inside Hawkeye as well. Allowing you to edit directly on your found result and your search gets updated as well when saving. Allowing you to refactor your code while seeing all the places it is used at the same time.

Groups

Manage your data with our usage of groups. You create a group for one or more folders and name it corresponding to your preference for it, Code/Content/Project names etc. Now you can visualize and filter depending on the groups selected. Using this to manage a large codebase or multiple projects is really easy and gives really good results.
