Button/keybinding to clear search textbox in Code Explorer

Postby Merlyn » Fri Aug 01, 2014 11:25 pm

When I am searching for functions in a PHP file and then swap to a different tab, presently what happens is that RapidPHP preserves the text I typed into the search filter text box at the top of the Code Explorer pane.

I suppose it is useful for the text to stay there, in case the user's intention was to continue to filter functions/variables by that criteria in subsequent selected PHP files.

If that behaviour is desirable and is left intact (rather than being replaced, say, with either blanking the search text out every time a different file tab is selected, or, say, remembering a different typed filter value per open file tab), here is something that would help me greatly:

(1) a clickable button and/or (preferably AND) keybinding to allow immediate clearing of the search filter text box in the Code Explorer pane
(2) a keybinding to allow placing the keyboard focus into the search filter text box in the Code Explorer pane.



This feature request would increase the __rapidity__ with which I navigate my source in __Rapid__PHP.


Thanks in advance, and thanks for listening.

We think that the feature of remembering the filter when switching tabs is beneficial (e.g. you're looking for a particular class in multiple css files). We will consider the other suggestions, although the added benefit might be too small - one clickable button vs Right Click -> Delete.
