[Feature request] UX improvements

[ZeroEkkusu]

Hi, @scambier,

I've discovered the plug-in in Obsidian's 2023 Gems and prefer it over the core plug-in.

I have a few small UX suggestions.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Describe the solution you'd like

• When I click on Omnisearch, it's ready to search the entire vault.
• I usually search inside the file. Add a configuration option to set the default to file or vault.

• On desktop, the keyboard hints show to navigate, to cycle history, to open, etc.
• Drop the to. Just navigate, cycle history, open, etc. It's cleaner.

• On mobile, the button shows In-File search when searching the vault and Vault search when searching the file.
• This is confusing. Change the labels to Search file instead and Search vault instead

• The hint text, which appears when nothing is typed in the search bar, isn't left-aligned on mobile:

• Executing command Omnisearch: In-file search doesn't do anything on mobile.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Thank you!

Hi ZeroEkkusu

I usually search inside the file. Add a configuration option to set the default to file or vault.

There is a command to directly open Omnisearch with the In-File context

Drop the to. Just navigate, cycle history, open, etc. It's cleaner.

Not sure about that one. I don't disagree, but I'd rather keep following the naming convention from the Quick Switcher core plugin 🤷‍♂️

This is confusing. Instead, change the labels to Search file instead and Search vault instead

Hey!

There is a command to directly open Omnisearch with the In-File context

This is inconvenient. I use the ribbon icon on both mobile and desktop, which sets the search to vault by default. Besides, the average user shouldn't have to deal with commands.

OK.

Noted, I haven't thought about this button 👍

Besides, the average user shouldn't have to deal with commands.

I mentioned the command because it can be bound to a keyboard shortcut, just like ctrl+o will open Quick Switcher by default

Heads up that the command to search file doesn't work on mobile (nothing happens when executed).

Also, the hint text is neither left-aligned, nor centered.

I'll add those two to the original post above.

Added.
