Feature request: Show only highlighted lines of the log file

[ndinev]

Use case:
One of the reasons to define highlight is to see easily where interesting things are happening in big logs. We can go one step further and allow user to see only highlighted lines.

Seems like this can be added to "Filter pane" that already has ability to show only lines matching particular search. A checkbox "Show only highlighted lines" will be sufficient.

@ndinev I think this use case is already implemented. If you open the "Filter pane" and click "Show advanced..." you can click "Filter to tab" and now all the lines matching the criteria are shown in the new tab. You can even create many tabs from one file with different search criterias.

Does this match your use case?

@zarunbal
I am aware of this functionality but it seems it works only for one single string. I do not see any way to select Highlight Group as filter in this case (that is actually my feature request)
Thanks

@ndinev Ok now I understand your requested functionality. To use directly the highlighting groups there is no feature available.
A possible workaround would be to use regex and define every highlighting match as a regex group witch is combined with a or expression. But I don't know how performant this approach would be.
