Search box polish
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2019 10:47 pm
I think the search could use some polish.
- For starters it would be great to allow keyboard input. When sitting in front of the pc it feels clunky to have to use the mouse to click the letters.
- The search should directly reflect the first letter I press and jump there. Why does it only update after the third input letter? I don't even know if a game is available before I input three letters
- when the search box is closed but I have a search filter active I would like to be able to clear it with "esc" instead of having to go back to the search box, clear and close it again.
- when the search box is closed I would like to be able to see my active filter
Ideally I would like a "desktop mode" with a search box running in the background detecting keystrokes and displaying search results in real time. This is how the FS UAE Arcade launcher works and it feels extremely fast and intuitive. Of course that would mean any menus would require a function key to be accessed...
