LogsANC — Logs Noise Cancelling

Filter log files by hiding noisy lines, showing only important ones, or both. Works on static files and live streams.

How It Works

LogsANC has two filtering modes:

Dim — lines stay in the document but are visually faded out, making them easy to skip over while still being accessible.
Hard Hide — lines are completely removed from a separate filtered view panel, giving you a clean output with only the lines you care about.

Both modes support exclude (hide lines matching a term) and include (show only lines matching a term) filters, and they can be combined.

Dim filters — fade out noisy lines or highlight important ones without removing any content
Hard filters — completely remove lines in a separate filtered view panel
Selection shortcuts — right-click selected text to instantly add it as a filter
Filtered view — open a side panel showing only the lines that pass your hard filters
Live stream support — filters re-apply automatically as the document changes
Toggle on/off — enable or disable all filtering without losing your filter list
Manage filters — view and remove active filters from a single panel
Status bar — shows the current filter state at the bottom of the editor (e.g. ANC: -2 +1)
Editor title bar icons — quick access to toggle filtering, manage filters, clear all, and open the filtered view
