I just tried something. Biggest challenge is to turn off that time-out list filters have because text fields do not reset their contents after a delay. That's an interesting puzzle. :-D

Hi, there.

Yes, it was the simplest way to implement key-press response with sync between textfield and list-filter state. It occasionally bugs me too. See ListChooser >> #filterEvent:for: and the end of #buildWith:.

One could forward #textEdited: from the input field to set the list's item filter. Yet, there is no way to forward a "filter changed" event to the text field. Well, you could choose to only install the keyboard-event filter for the list morph and combine that with #textEdited:. Then you would spread the sync code across 2 methods, but you could improve the user experience. :-)

Best,
Marcel
