One workaround is a deliberate search for gibberish you know won't be found.

Thanks. This solution could not have come from,John von Neumann, but from Alfred E. Neuman :-)

It's what I have done for years

Thanks. Is there coherent development plan for Pluma? This feature works in Xed, the even less-able step-brother. What a mess.

There is a general roadmap for the whole DE on the wiki, but be advised we are a small team with zero paid staff.

I am well aware of the reasons mentioned. Thanks again
