Hello,
being an Emacs user, I frequently find myself pressing CTRL-s in mconf to search for some menu entry, especially in large menus.
I decided to implement a basic isearch in mconf and would like to hear if others find this functionality useful, as well.
The new functionality is started with pressing CTRL-s followed by characters that form the search string. To search for further occurences of an entered string, press CTRL-s instead of further characters.
For example: to navigate to the USB device drivers, press CTRL-s de ENTER ENTER usb ENTER ENTER
Pressing just CTRL-s subsequently results in line-by-line navigation through the menu (search for empty strings).
The isearch is terminated by pressing either ESC ESC or ENTER.
Because I expect that errors are found in the code and changes are requested, I completely left out the documentation part and will add it to V2 should anyone find this functionality useful.
Thanks,
Dirk
