[Feature request] improve search blocked ID list with next/previous buttons etc. (QoL) #434

Open geextahslex opened 1 month ago

geextahslex commented 1 month ago

Hi, it would be awesome if the search function in the options, where all blocked ID's are located could be improved on.

a) make search always visible, so you don't have to open it by pressing ctrl+f. move it up or down, there is more than enough room to have it opened b) this would prevent search from closing after one search c) add arrows for next/previous to make the search more convenient

Now you have to copy paste everything into notepad and then search for whatever you are looking for. This would be a nice quality of life feature.

sdfsdfsd x2

Thank you :)

There already is a search feature. Just hit control+f, which is the keyboard shortcut for search in almost any application.

Nope, that only reads the visible part of the list. At least in firefox

Not sure what you mean. If I use control+f is searches the entire section. Maybe click into the section first? It uses another search bar than the one firefox uses.

Oh okay yeah true story, but it only shows the first entry and closes itself. thats it. An arrow up and down for the next and previous result would be nice

True, especially for users that don't use keyboard shortcuts often. In the meantime you can use the shortcuts Control+G to go to the next search result and Shift+Control+G to go to the previous search result. I believe this is the default behavior for many apps that use search bars but it's certainly not obvious.

This works. Thank you. Not a convenient way, maybe it could be improved. I changed the issue title.
