#2837 Search box in Auto-Type Entry Selection popup

[Xuan Nguyen]

Let's say in the "Auto-Type Entry Selection" popup, we have 20 matched entries.
It would be nice if there's a free text search box to filter these 20 entries.

The AutoTypeSearch plug-in will do what you want.
Tools > Options > AutoTypeSearch, Show when system-wide hotkey is pressed

cheers, Paul

Thank you! I tried now with Advanced Auto-Type (which is listed in plugins as AlternateAutoType). Adds few more missed features.

[Xuan Nguyen]

Well, the plugin AutoTypeSearch doesn't work as the feature request.

What I mean is that, in the "Auto-Type Entry Selection" popup, there is a search box to find from the matched entries.

But AutoTypeSearch: "If a global auto-type is requested, but no matching entry for the active window is found, this plugin will show a quick as-you-type search window"

So, they are 2 different things.

[Xuan Nguyen]

Because there's no plugin for the requested feature.

@Dominik Reichl Could you reopen the ticket?

[Dominik Reichl]

The AdvancedAutoType plugin (which is not the same as the AutoTypeSearch plugin) provides such a feature:
https://github.com/Rookiestyle/AdvancedAutoType
(section 'Auto-Type entry selection enhancements', feature 'Search as you type allows filtering entries in the result list').

Isn't this exactly what you are asking for?

Thanks and best regards,
Dominik

Sorry for the late reply!
Thanks @Dominik, that's exactly what I need.
