--- Comment #1 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
I don't think those two should be combined. Typing a key to find a specific
file seems intuitive to me. I don't think a user would want all the files that
don't match this to be hidden then.

It certainly is a bit weird that we have a "type ahead" feature, a "filter"
feature, and a "search" feature, but if I were to combine two of them it would
be "filter" and "search" and not "type ahead" and "filter". In a way filtering
is the same as searching but only for the current location.

I agree however that the "type ahead" feature could be improved in the sense
that it currently isn't very clear what was typed. I believe we should show
text in the bottom left of the view that explains "Jumping to "test"…". The
text should fade away when no new key was typed for a second or two.
