<p dir="auto">JFTR, I didn't mean to suggest it should be a per-document filter. Only that it would maybe create the most comfortable solution but also with the most effort needed.</p>
<p dir="auto">Getting back to <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/techee/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/techee">@techee</a>'s first idea of this feature: when we want tojust  jump to the first match of a symbol, it might be enough to enable GTK's treeview search feature (where a little text input field pos up automagically and filters the tree, <a href="https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/method.TreeView.set_enable_search.html" rel="nofollow">https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/method.TreeView.set_enable_search.html</a>).<br>
Then we don't need a permanent visible search field and probably even less code. At the price thata search feature enabled by just typing in a list is less intuitive and might not be recognised by all users.<br>
I didn't try it yet, it's just a thought.</p>
<p dir="auto">In case someone wants to try, there might be signal handlers on the symbol list to switch focus to the editing widget on any keypress, at least it feels like this.</p>
