how to use filters

[kulak]

Hi,

I have a basic usability question. I can't quite get the interaction model (sequence with which to press keys) to turn on :filter-in command. Can someone explain that to me?

ok, it seems that I have figured out method 1 of 3.

Press TAB to switch to Filters editor area. The filters editor area lists keyboard shortcuts that can be used:

• SPC: enable/disable (must have a filter). Press space on existing filter to enable/disable it.
• i/o: press i to create filter-in; press o to create filter-out.

When creating new "filter-in" the current text of the filter is not printed in the edit area, but it applied in real time to existing viewer area. So, that's the indication of currently matched content.

I think I originally tried to issue "filter-in" command and got confused with its completion options.

(sequence with which to press keys) to turn on :filter-in command.

Pressing colon (:) will enter the command-mode. Then, type in filter-in (or just filin and then TAB to auto-complete). After that, you'll want to enter the regex that you want to match against. You can press TAB to auto-complete text that is currently displayed in the main view. For example, if there is a long identifier, you should be able to enter the first few letters and then press TAB to complete the rest of it.

The online help should also popup after entering the command name and show a description of the command and some examples.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by this, can you elaborate or include a screenshot.

Thank you.  These instructions helped.
