Hello, version 6 of this RFC was mainly influenced by a discussion with Randy Dunlap about a patch for i-search in nconf. In that discussion I stated that it would be a lot of work to implement a global i-search but while thinking about that statement afterwards, I realized that most of the needed functionality is already there in search_conf(), the search function for config symbols. The menu tree is converted in a flat menu to ease the implementation of a cyclic i-search and the rest of the implementation does no longer interfere so much with current menu handling. Dirk Changes in v6: * The modification of the function print_autowrap() was reworked and is no longer a separate function. * The i-search navigation was completely reworked and now works on the whole menu tree. * Hotkeys are back, because they do not interfere that much with this version of i-search navigation. Changes in v5: * More thoroughly tested code * Hotkey navigation concept completely dropped * Printable characters except special ones form the search string * Focus-sensitive help text above menu * DEL erases search string * Matching string is highlighted in selected menu item * README help text adjusted Changes in v4: * Prototype: consequent i-search navigation concept Changes in v3: * Use current git tree to make the patch apply. * Eliminate debugging output to stderr. Changes in v2: * Additionally to CTRL-s, \ can be used to start isearch. * Raw mode is off by default an can be enabled by an environment variable MENUCONFIG_RAW_MODE. * I also added a variable for toggling raw mode but did not implement anything else. * The isearch indicator is now displayed as soon as isearch is started. * Any key except \, CTRL-s, alphanumeric characters and space terminates isearch and -- except ESC ESC -- is further processed, e.g. ENTER terminates isearch and is then used to navigate into a submenu. * Problems with mismatches and matches above the current position were fixed.
