Filter on typing
« on: September 15, 2026, 21:05:53 »
As the title says, the feature I really miss is filtering by typing. Both Total Commander and Double Commander offer the ability to simply start typing (without having to use a command line or keyboard shortcut), and only the files and folders matching the typed text are then shown.
Thank you.

Ctrl+F then start typing and view is filtered and only items matching are shown

Thank you for your reply.
I know that you can filter the items using Ctrl+F, but it would be a useful feature if typing could filter the items by default, and pressing Esc could clear the filter.

That would make it kind of in conflict with type to search and type to commandline field.. Not sure I like the idea to include another thing connected to typing.
