My suggestions: I improved the mouseless usage a bit (though not completely). bzr pull & try it out. Now, you can navigate the list with cursor keys and press enter to jump to the search hit. Focus stays in listbox, so you can continue browsing the search hits. > Create the following minibuffer commands: > > - find-quick: Enter the Nav tab and select the "Find text" area. Sounds like a plan. Customary shortcut for this is ctrl+shift+f. > find-quick-select: Enter Nav tab and select the first (or > previously-selected) found text. For various reason, I'd rather call it focus-to-nav - this is after all a general purpose "quick navigation" control that will be used for other purposes as well. It just happens to have textedit control for entering searches ;-). > Also, it would be good if the up/down arrows in the found text area would > select the corresponding text, just as double-clicking now does. These keys I think this may make it a bit slow for casual browsing. Current behaviour regarding this should be ok for most people. Also, I might want to allow multiselection at some point (e.g. to support "delete" key for pruning the list, ...). Multiselecting a range of items is much handier if you avoid blinking the body control with the hits every time. -- Ville M.
