& and * on Windows?

[amreus]

When typing / I get prompted for the regex to search for.

I also expected to be prompted for a regex when typing & or * but nothing appears to happen. Do I misunderstand how to use the filter functions?

Thanks.

Your understanding is correct - typing & or * should show a prompt for regex as well. Curious if there are other key bindings that don't work as expected or are these the only two?

If you could share a bit more information about your system that could be helpful.

✔️ Tab for changing modes. ✔️ hjkl works for navigation in all modes. ✔️ ctrl-f & ctr-b ✔️ ctrl-u & ctrl-d ✔️ G & g ✔️ <n>G goto line ✔️ / for searching prompt ✔️ n & N ❌ & and * for filtering don't appear to do anything ✔️ Shift-Dn for sorting ❌ < & > not working in any mode ❌ # and @ not working (cell mode) ✔️ y copying works ✔️ Enter

I made a scoop manifest which is how I installed csvlens. However I get the same results from the direct download.

Thanks for the detailed report! I will get to this once I have access to a Windows machine to test and reproduce.

I'm willing to run test versions if it would help. I can also compile and test from a test branch of the repo. I'm no programmer, but let me know it I can help.

@amreus Thank you! Based on the symptoms I suspect the issue is related to shift key handling in Windows. I have a possible fix in https://github.com/YS-L/csvlens/pull/84. It would be great if you can test if it works.

Works 100%, thank you. This is a wonderful tool. And thank you for considering Windows a worthwhile platform - many projects unfortunately do not.
