Automatically search upon typing

[juliapaci]

The search bar should be automatically focused when typing so you don't have to manually click on it to filter out files.

Hi, thanks for the Issue!

The feature is already planned in the following issue: #70

@crumblingstatue has already written an experimental implementation for this:
crumblingstatue@5f148ae

But I don't know what the current status is.

There are also a few points about when we want to avoid the behavior:

• When the user presses Ctrl or Shift so that we can implement Key bindings in the future
• When the user is already in any input field

But I don't know what the current status is.

It was rebased against the latest dev branch yesterday.

• When the user presses Ctrl or Shift so that we can implement Key bindings in the future

• When the user is already in any input field

I can try and make it fit these requirements and clean things up and open a pull request

Sorry for late reply,
is this sorta what you guys had in mind? juliapaci@2da6e0c

fixes:

• setting cursor to end of search

and avoids:

When the user presses Ctrl or Shift so that we can implement Key bindings in the future
When the user is already in any input field

Although currently it ignores any modifier including Alt and stuff which im not sure is what you want?

This is working well so far. But I think we should allow to automatically enter search while Shift is pressed.
Otherwise it doesn't work if the first letter is to be capitalized 🤔

Oops, i didn't realise that. Fixed in crumblingstatue@dffed3f.

This works really great now! Will merge the changes once @crumblingstatue creates a PR :)
