Ok. I looked at the options - one says to filter (or not); the other says
how deep to filter.
I'd prefer to use the up/down (and/or another set of keys) for navigation -
not just any key - and let filter continue on after a pause. But that's
just me.
What is less helpful (just found out), is that after you filter a list,
then clear it (backspace), you can't filter it again. The tree morph
allows for exactly 1 try at filtering it's list. There should be some way
to reset it, I would think.
