Always positionally independent CQS

Open gisturbance opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some CQS are always used positionally independent, still requiring the use of an @-prefix, disrupting the search inputs flow.

For example, a CQS named 📁 to prepend Everything Search Filters, triggered by a CQH, would display @📁 instead, which doesn't look very clean.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a setting to each CQS to make it positionally independent, without the need of an @-prefix.

Sorry could you restate the proposal? It's not clear to me about the meaning of positionally independent

Example: Hotkey for Everything search plugin: CQS 🎵 with the expansion € type:mp3,flac,wav online:, showing all music files that reside on your attached drives

Now when entering the 🎵, all available audio files would be displayed. Usually, one would want to search for specific titles, typing 🎵 beatles yesterday

Since the input contains more than 🎵, FlowLauncher will not recognize it unless you write @🎵, to make it positionally independent, allowing you to write "beatles @🎵 yesterday`.

The point is, to add a setting for each individual CQS, allowing to omit @, always triggering the CQS when its shortcut (in this case 🎵) is typed.

🎵 beatles yesterday looks cleaner than @🎵 beatles yesterday

In short, an option to allow the @ behavior, without entering @.
