search and focus by keyboard

[Michael REMY]

hi,

here a easy feature to add and also really easy to code&develop.

i already know that when you hit a key (like the M key on keyboard), then TC will do a search in the list and if there is something put the focus on the first itel beginning by M letter.

but when there is no item, then TC do nothing what is userless.

my daily work is about folder ordered like that :

00 mary
10 french
20 korean
30 john
....
and more than 300 folder all begin by number

so each time i have to enter in on of them just by knowing the name (not the number).
so when i hit quickly on the keyboard the letter "ko" i'd like TC would focus on "20 korean" because it is the first item to match my keyboard hits and also, there are not other item begining by "ko", so TC would investiage into the other letters...

how about that ?

Try http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=22592, it is very useful, trust me

This usage scenario is very special and just for individual purpose.

Search mode "Letters only" is most restricted.
For much more flexibility I use "Letters - with search dialog".
Here you are able to use wiildcards like "*ko" to hit and focus the first occurrence and even use the cursor keys to focus next or previous hit.
Additionally you may use Ctrl-S to filter the list, to show matching entries only.

1) What about rename? It will be

Code: Select all

mary (00)
french (10)
korean (20)
john (30)

2) You can create hardlinks and rename them as you like leaving source folders intact;
3) Or, finally, do the same with shortcuts

good idea but not really possible.
we are many to work on eat (it is share folder).

there i gave an example, but in fact this is some list like :

STATUTS-DATE-NAME

some people work mainyl with status, other on date and other like me work one by one by name (random person)

the shortcut idea is good but i'm affraid of multiple item in list and the go-back (parent-root) button would be very "loosen-force" .

Michael REMY,
Huh? Why has nobody suggested unchecking Configuration - Options - Quick Search - Exact name match - Beginning? What have I missed?

well i tried but i go back. not really fit my need in real world.

when i have this :

00 anne-marie
10 french
20 korean
30 john
40 marie


i need to go to the "marie" folder

then i hit m-a-r and TC goes to 00 anne-marie when i need to go to "40 marie".
this option will be good if "space" (or nothing) would count before the search
