I'm behind on my coursework by about a week and a half, so I can't test 
it out right now, but I can give two main points I'd evaluate the design on:

1. Can I hit an intuitive key combination (Ctrl+F would work nicely) and 
have the bar appear (if hidden) and be given keyboard focus (whether or 
not it's hidden)?

2. When the bar has keyboard focus, can I hit other intuitive keybinds 
to switch focus to the file list (Enter?) or empty and hide the filter 
bar and then switch focus to the file list (Escape?).
