Trigger search automatically

Closed this issue · 0 comments

What

I would like to see the search function improved so that Sourcegit will search the commits immediately after pressing a key, without having to submit the search using the Enter/Return key.

Obviously, some kind of short "debounce" or "throttling" will have to be added as well, so that holding and spamming a key will not overload the search, but this is usually taken care of by the UI Framework.

Why

This would improve the responsiveness of the UI. I often try to search for strings I am unsure of and adjusting the search term based on the results found (or not found). Having to submit the search each time after editing the input is annoying.
