Typed History for Variable Inputs #1451

Closed chinchin96 closed 2 years ago

chinchin96 commented 11 years ago

Hey guys—thanks for all the great work you do with Quicksilver.

I would like to request type-ahead history for variables in QS. Basically, let's say I put in a trigger for grooveshark search that let me search for an artist. Upon invoking the trigger, I'm prompted for an artist. If I start to type 'John', after typing the 'J' it would autofill 'ohn Coltrane' and when I get to typing 'John D' it would change to 'John Denver' because I've typed those two names before. I hit enter and bam, takes me there! This would be stored in QS somewhere and would have purge rules or something similar. The Windows-based program alled 'Slickrun' did this beautifully and it saved a TON of time especially when you have an object that could take many different variables but are too many to create specific triggers for. One could also use the up and down arrow (or up/down with modifier) to scroll through the history in the third pane.
