Hi,
Consider the following scenario: a user wishes to reassign the command for announcing the name of the executable and any app modules present for this executable (Control+NVDA+F1) but doesn't quite know what that command is actually called. As of NvDA 2014.3, the user would use the input gestures treeview to locate the command, but with various categories, the user may not know which one to expand. To help this user locate the command quickly, an edit field which filters commands based on keywords would be useful.
This new edit box will allow users new to NVDA to quickly locate commands for reassignment. This would also allow users to assign commands to scripts which has no gestures attached or add a touch or braille command for scripts assigned to keyboard commands.
The implementation of this feature would closely mirror that of elements list dialog in browse mode, in that this new filter or command search field would filter commands based on keywords entered by the user. Thus, after typing some phrases, the user would press tab to go to search results list, which would populate the area occupied by input gestures treeview, similar to what happens in elements list dialog.
Thanks.
