Description of the Enhancement Request

Enhancement request for usability: Make the search & replace dialog collapsible, and show only the minimum content needed when collapsed. The dialog can already be made semi-transparent, which helps a bit. However, the collapsed dialog will use very little space, and offers the functionality 90% of the time.

Expected Behavior

  1. The default is expanded, showing a collapse icon on the lower right:

notepadpp-search-1

Same for Replace and other tabs:

notepadpp-replace-1

  1. Once you click on the collapse icon you get the collapsed view that shows the expand icon in the lower right:

notepadpp-search-2

notepadpp-replace-2

  1. Remember the state between application runs.

Thank you for Notepad++, it's a great editor! Thank you for the consideration for this suggestion.
