Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu6
Severity: wishlist
I usually use the "Limit Display" action to search for packages. This is very
nice, but it has one drawback: If matching packages are found across several
deep subcategories, it's quite hard to navigate to all of the found packages.
It's much better, when using the "Flat package List". However, this always
involves creating a new View and re-entering the filter.
So what I would recommend is either
1) Have an option to startup with the flat package list. Or
2) Even better: Make it easy to transform the current categorized package list
into a flat package list, keeping the "Limit Display" filter.
