Small enhancement to filters to create a "Search"-like feature #363

Closed Oroumov closed 6 years ago

Hi again (...) One more suggestion here :

Feature :

Description :

I've thought of a very simple improvement : would you consider implementing the ubiquitous Ctrl-F feature and make it jump to the filters AND clean the "Currently Active Filter" at once ? The sequence would now be :

And voilà ! An immediate "search" function, all without touching the "F" behavior for everyone.

Thanks, Nicolas.

Hi, The current way to do this is to use '0F' - '0' clears the filter, F opens the dialog. To me this is as easy as Ctrl-F would be.

Cheers,

Ben

Description :

  • The closest thing we have now from a Search function is to :
    • Type F to jump in filters
    • Click on "Clear Active" to remove the current filter (or "Alt-C", or "Ctrl-A, Delete")
    • Type in your new search string
    • Press Enter Twice

Hi Ben, I'm ashamed now ! I cycle between active filters constantly, completely forgot about "0" !! 0F is perfect for this, sorry for wasting your time :) Cheers, Nicolas
