Description Simone Gaiarin 2019-02-04 13:25:27 UTC

SUMMARY

D18580 introduced the possibility to use a comma separated list for searching processes and pids. I think that this should be accompanied by a tooltip that appears when hoovering the search bar that tells the user of how the search works. Probably the documentation should also be updated to list this new feature.

Tooltip example:
"Type comma separated search terms or PIDs to filter the process list"

Turns out regex input is accepted too. Totally agree.

Wanna give it a shot? :)

Comment 2 Simone Gaiarin 2019-02-10 18:11:19 UTC

First, any idea on what should we write exactly?

Is this ok?

"Type comma separated searchs term or regular expressions to filter the process list."

I removed the PIDs, because it searches in all these fields apparently:
- Name
- Command
- Window Title of the process.
- Username
- PID

Add tooltip for quick search

Summary:
Add a tooltip to the quick search line edit in the process view to inform the user that it is possible to use comma separated search terms and regular expressions.

We can also reformulate the text if you have better ideas.
