So I see, you do not need my effect. I quite agree that you could only use the 
effect for selecting complete albums and not for tracks, so the place can 
probably be used in a better way ;-) And I think it is impossible to change 
it to something like the mockup :-(

Thanks. But no keyboard filtering. That's IMHO impossible, as it uses alt+tab 
and writing on the keyboard could become quite difficult while holding the 
alt key ;-)
