This idea is borrowed from how minecraft command autocompletion system works. So when I open a file and I start typing the name manually you see a list of the files with the matching first letters of the name. My idea is to make it so you can scroll through the list using the Tab key, example:
I have a folder in which I have 2 files: “stone.png” and “stone_bricks.png”. I want to open stone_bricks.png so I search for “st” and it shows up on the list right there “stone.png” and “stone_bricks.png” are the 2 first results. Right now I can only open the first one with the down arrow and I can’t scroll through them until I use a mouse which is not really ideal. How it should work in my opinion is when in the text field, ignore the original functionality of tab to scroll through buttons and instead scroll through the file names. While scrolling through the file names with tab it should also automatically put the file name in the text field instead of just selecting the option so I can just basically do “st”, Tab x2, Enter to open the file “stone_bricks.png”.
I think it would save so much time while working with huge folders of files. Thanks for reading!
so autocomplete on the search of aseprite folder explorer? yeah that would be cool
