[outreachy] Project progress (week 6)

[khushi gautam]

Hi Folks,

Here comes the 6 weeks report of my project progress. I feel proud to
mention that I am all going according to my project timeline. My mentors
Jim and Heiko are ones who are always available to resolve any issue and
make working in the LO environment much more fun. Learning new things and
encountering such a big codebase is itself a task whenever I initiate any
new milestone per week in the project.

I started this project by making a UI layout of a quick find panel on glade
(using a virtual box for that). Next I integrated the ui with the code to
make the Find Deck icon appear on the sidebar panel. Following up with
that, I spent some more time on glade in figuring out how to expand the
treeview component. This is all about making a structure.

Consequently, I first made the search bar track the keywords on entering
the search field. I connected the entry control to the source and to add an
activate handler for it. Made functions named as FillSearchFindsList().
Sequencing, I built a functionality similar to "Find all" in the quick
search bar. On entering the keyword it highlights corresponding words in
the document. Currently, I am half way on accomplishing the task of
fetching a string of words from the right hand side and left hand side of
the selected word. Once make build stops giving the errors I think I will
be good to go. As Jim said in LO we make change, test it out, think, think,
make change, test until we get a successful outcome.

Here is the link to my current blog that I am maintaining during my whole
outreachy journey : https://khushishikhu.hashnode.dev/outreachy-week-6

Happy Hacking!!

Thank You!!
