Quick-close the search panel results

#1

Is there a way to quickly close the search results pane?

In particular, I would like a keyboard shortcut that:

  1. closes the search results tab, even when it is not focused;
  2. remove the pane where the tab was, if that pane has no other tabs; and
  3. does not do anything if no search results are being shown.

Does this exist by default or can it be easily added to the current config?

Cheers

Add to your init.coffee (Atom > Open Your Init Script)

atom.commands.add 'atom-workspace', 'find-and-replace:close-results', ->
	itemUri = 'atom://find-and-replace/project-results'
	pane = atom.workspace.paneForUri(itemUri)
	pane?.destroyItem(pane.itemForUri(itemUri))

And your keymap.cson (Atom > Open Your Keymap)

'atom-workspace':
  'ctrl-whatever': 'find-and-replace:close-results'

On Windows/Linux, the menu items are under “File” instead of Atom (I think!)

The pane will be automatically removed if you have the ‘destroy empty panes’ setting checked.

Wicked, thanks @postcasio — :cake:

It’d be cool to not have to set Destroy Empty Panes, but that’s a tiny problem by comparison.

Try this:

atom.commands.add 'atom-workspace', 'find-and-replace:close-results', ->
	itemUri = 'atom://find-and-replace/project-results'
	pane = atom.workspace.paneForUri(itemUri)
	pane?.destroyItem(pane.itemForUri(itemUri))
	unless pane?.getItems().length
		pane.destroy()
