TAF 2.0 tip

Post by aurumdigitus »

Type Ahead Find 2.0 with Highlight Matches enabled can be used as the functional equivalent of a "quick and dirty" Selection Filter. This becomes even more powerful if a KS is assigned to Next Type Ahead Match.

:idea:

TAF always selects only one file. Another idea would be TAS (Type Ahead Select, or Select As You Type).

Select was a poor choice of words. Should have been more like, "Show me files of interest that contain this ..." When used thus it works as advertised.

Sorry if the post misled any readers. :oops:

I think you just had an accidental omission in your first post:

The idea was "above my pay grade".

Should have remained silent. :roll:

To make TheQwerty's correction and/or amplification to the original concept even more flexible this would be an ideal opportunity to start using the new Line Number Selection that came with 12.70 along with TAF 2.0.
