[gcmd-dev] quick search

[Michael]

While it basically works as expected, there is problem with entering 
quicksearch mode in the first instance, here. For example, setting Alt+char 
still invokes the menu with Atl+b (which translates to 'edit' in english 
version), after one quicksearch is terminated with Esc. It works from scratch 
though.
With focus on commandline, quicksearch can not be entered, which is logical but 
still confusing.

With my german keyboard i can't enter QS nor can i focus commandline with in 
initial "/" (i don't know why). As long as this is the case, couldn't inital 
"/" be reused to enter quicksearch ? That would comply to unix shell things 
like mc or less, and be the same safe feeling as in firefox where you have 
Strg+F. No confusion possible. The side-effect would be, Alt+char or 
Strg+Alt+char could be taken out of code, which hopefully would make both the 
code and the options menu less complex.

Another idea. Quicksearch recognizes the "*" expansion, but no regexpr right ? 
Because, if it would follow regexpr, start- or end-string could be decided 
on-the-fly by ^ and $ too.

I have to admit i only use quicksearch, not the Alt+F7 extended search manager. 
Of course "/" could invoke that search manager as well. btw it has some bugs, 
like deleting a file in search list does not update the list, and renaming does 
not work. But, i believe, as long as quicksearch works, it is not an urgent 
problem.
