Type to Search Across Lists

[trevrobwhite]

Coming from the Jetbrains platform one feature I really miss is the ability to be able to type in lists for example workspace, database etc and the system will automatically jump you to the first matching item in that list, then use the up/down arrows to move through the selections, filtering would also be acceptable (maybe that's an option).

I realise there is the global search, but this is much faster when you are looking for a table, view or a file.

Many thanks

Many lists support this but you first have to type Ctrl+Alt+F to activate the widget.

I'm not sure what this looks like- can you provide an example? In the search view (ctrl+shift+f), there are keyboard shortcuts to jump to the results list.

Anywhere there is a list, click an item and start typing a magnifying glass appears and the selection jumps as you type, if nothing is found it turns red, backspace works, up + down arrows jump through the found items and escape clears or mouse click the filter. It's a global action so works with every list, it means you can find things really quickly without opening another editor

Oh. Then yes, the comment above is correct:

Many lists support this but you first have to type Ctrl+Alt+F to activate the widget.

CTRL+ALT+F yes that's the one thanks, much better than CTRL+SHIFT+F, thanks :-)
