Feature request: quick-filter / quick-search functionality always available in UI #366

Closed celmi closed 5 years ago

celmi commented 6 years ago

I'm finding the filter-function a bit tedious to use for spontaneus search-activities (for example, if I want to check wether a task already exists or needs to be written) . I'd love to be able to write a search-term into a textbox that is always present somewhere in the user-interface, immediately filtering out any tasks that contain this term (similar to the quick-search in thunderbird, where I can filter out mails from the mailbox I am currently looking at).

p.s. thanks everyone involved for this awesome tool!

I agree with celmi. Such a quick-search would be highly desirable. Or at least any kind of search (besides filtering). Or maybe there is search possibility, but I can't find it? (I am a new user of todotxt.net).

A also wanted to admit, that even if I've just started my adventure with this app, I think it's great. It has all what I like: its lightweight, useful and all relevant things could be done using just keyboard. Big thanks to developers!

Vim-style quick-search would be an awesome addition. 

 </> to enter search mode
 <Enter> to enter search term
 <n> or <N> to go to next/previous
 <ESC> to exit search mode

Matching instances of search term are highlighted on the fly as the search term is entered.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. At this stage todotxt.net is in maintenance mode and no new features are likely to be added.
