Jump To - Allow Wildcard

[therube]

Jump To - Allow Wildcard (Regex-like) search (& more?).

As it is, Jump to proceeds in an alphabetical manner (regardless of sort order), starting with the first character of a file name.
Perhaps an option to use, say the forward slash key to initiate a wildcard search of the results.
(Then maybe even something like up/down-arrow to find the previous/next result fitting the criteria.
With any other key/action aborting the Jump to at that point.)

So, if you had:

Code: Select all

01 Friendly Fires - Jump In The Pool.mp3
02 Scooter - Jumping All Over The World.mp3
02 The Jump Off.wma
Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees - 03 - Jump Street.mp3
Jethro Tull - 1987 Crest Of A Knave - 03 - Jump Start.mp3

J, would take you to, Jethro Tull... (current behavior)
/J, would take you to, 01 Friendly.../J/ump In...
/J*S, would take you to, Boz Scaggs.../J/ump /S/treet...
& from there, a down-arrow, would take you to, Jethro Tull.../J/ump /S/tart...
/J*Sta, would, as you're typing, take you to, Boz Scaggs, then as you enter the 'a' part of the Jump, immediately jump you to, Jethro Tull... /J/ump /Sta/rt...

(I suppose, in the above scenario, /J*S, actually finds, /J/ethro Tull...Jump /S/tart... rather then, Jethro Tull.../J/ump /S/tart.)


(While good in theory, well especially since I suggested it , not sure how much benefit there might be in practice?)


Search:

red

Then in the results list...

Code: Select all

00 - My Love is Like a Red Red Rose.mp3
...
Red Dust.mp3
...
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication.mp3
...
Red Hot Chilie Peppers - Suck My Kiss.mp3
...
(then, as it is, waaaay down the list...)
...
Uriah Heep - Blood red roses.mp3

Current:
R, takes you to, Red Dust
Red H, takes you to, Red Hot

Suggested:
/R, leaves you at, 00.../R/ed Rose
/Red*Rose, leaves you at, 00.../Red/ /Rose/
down-arrow, takes you to,
Uriah Heep - Blood /red rose/s.mp3

Hahaha, you made my day! And it has only just begun ...

I'll consider supporting wildcards for the jump to text.

Thanks for the suggestion.

A find dialog is development.
The find dialog will assist with finding results in results.
Wildcards and regex will be supported.
