Find And Run Robot / Feature Request - alternative matching algorithym
« on: April 12, 2006, 06:11 AM »
Hi,
I would suggest an (optional) alternative matching algo to solve the following problem:
Suppose you have the these Shortcuts:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2003
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
It is very difficult to select between VS 2003 / VS 2005 (when both are in frequent use) without using the cursor keys.
You have to enter at least 'dio 2003' or 'dio 2005'.
It would be nice if the matching algo would optionaly looks for shortcuts that have the entered characters in that particular order but must NOT be following each other immediately. This way I could easily launch with
VS3 or VS5
I think that's the way quicksliver or colibri do the matching. I find this more intiuitive.
