I love the Visual Filter (ctrl+J).
I'd love to replace the Toolbar button for this with a small text box. Any way of doing that?
Thanks in advance!
Visual filter box?

Thanks for the confirmation! Was afraid I'd missed it in the help file and my forum searches.
It's not a huge deal. It'd just be a nice visual reminder. At least the toolbar button indicates that a filter is active, even if it doesn't show the details.

Though note that live filtering the list and a quick search box are both on the roadmap, so chances are good they'll eventually come.
For a bolder visual reminder make sure you have Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Visual Filters | Show filter information in list enabled: Also, you can apply visual filters directly through the Address Bar by typing '|' followed by your filter pattern.

OK, so a cutesy text box isn't there yet, but it is on the roadmap and practically every benefit that text box would bring is already implemented in a different way.
That Visual Filter line was indeed showing up for me - I was just over looking it. Those are some good options to know about. I enabled seeing it on the tab-title too. And that's a good tip about the pipe-syntax in the path-bar.
I have no need of it at the moment, but does the Visual Filter support regular expressions like the search does?

It does, prefix the pattern with
