While it basically works as expected, there is problem with entering
quicksearch mode in the first instance, here. For example, setting Alt+char
still invokes the menu with Atl+b (which translates to 'edit' in english
version), after one quicksearch is terminated with Esc. It works from scratch
though.
With focus on commandline, quicksearch can not be entered, which is logical but
still confusing.
With my german keyboard i can't enter QS nor can i focus commandline with in
initial "/" (i don't know why). As long as this is the case, couldn't inital
"/" be reused to enter quicksearch ? That would comply to unix shell things
like mc or less, and be the same safe feeling as in firefox where you have
Strg+F. No confusion possible. The side-effect would be, Alt+char or
Strg+Alt+char could be taken out of code, which hopefully would make both the
code and the options menu less complex.
Another idea. Quicksearch recognizes the "*" expansion, but no regexpr right ?
Because, if it would follow regexpr, start- or end-string could be decided
on-the-fly by ^ and $ too.
I have to admit i only use quicksearch, not the Alt+F7 extended search manager.
Of course "/" could invoke that search manager as well. btw it has some bugs,
like deleting a file in search list does not update the list, and renaming does
not work. But, i believe, as long as quicksearch works, it is not an urgent
problem.
