Type-ahead filtering for Projects and Outline panes #399

Open humdingerb opened 1 month ago

humdingerb commented 1 month ago

For larger projects it'd be quite handy to have Tracker-like type-ahead filtering. Then you could, for example, enter "window" and quickly see all the window related files (in a sanely naming project).

If you choose "Show in Projects browser" the type-ahead filtering there gets reset, if the target is currently hidden by an active filtering.

As in Tracker's filtering, a filter-term field left of the horizontal scrollbar is needed, reset with ESC.

Nice idea. Not sure how easy it would be, since the widget we use is the really basic BOutlineListView. Anyway, since the ProjectBrowser looks like a filesystem tree view, I think it should work more like it. For example I'd also add the Canc shortcut to delete files
