Option to (re-)allow Tree Find to be triggered by simply typing #157747

Open ppseprus opened 2 years ago

ppseprus commented 2 years ago

Background: Pre 1.70.0, it was possible to simply start typing in tree views to trigger the Tree Find feature. That was changed by said version, and now the feature is hidden behind a shortcut.

Feature: A true/false option that allows the user to avoid pressing the key combination. Search and highlight are triggered by simply starting to type in the Tree view.

If focus is on the tree and you start typing, focus should already be moving to the first matching item. Aren't you seeing that happen?

ppseprus commented 2 years ago

Hey @gjsjohnmurray,

Im not talking about focusing on the items I'm looking for. I'm talking about the search/highlight feature that is now, since 1.70.0, moved behind a command+f shortcut.

It would be great to be able to opt-out and have the original implementation in place: when a tree-view is in focus, if the user starts typing, the Tree Find widget (or whatever its name) is popping up, and matches are highlighted.
