cherrytree icon indicating copy to clipboard operation
cherrytree copied to clipboard

Search is not easy and no copy button?

Hello,

What i i expect:

i would expect to have a tray icon by default (i suspect i had to enable it in a Misc. settings). Then i would expect a search field where i can type and it will instantly filter out matching nodes and using single mouse click i can copy the node content and it would optionally minimize the CherryTree for pasting into other app.

It is not present (in CT 0.99.30 on Debian 11 oldstable):

  • I am unsure if i have seen tray icon by default
  • Regarding search, Ctrl+F seems to be the search in current node, not in all nodes (i see i can modify keyb. shortcuts), when i type into a search window and hit enter, it does nothing (i think that the Enter should initiate search, Shift+Enter does, yet that is a bit too complicated), then on search results window, i would expect Enter key would bring me to the resulting node. No, i have to hit Esc key.
  • Regarding copying content of the node, i do not see a button for that, the Edit menu shows Shift+Ctrl+C too long shortcut, which does not insert anything into the clipboard despite my cursor is inside a node with text content.

Conclusion:

So this app does not seem to be enough usable for the purpose of quickly finding node containing defined text and copy it into another app. Can you please improve something?
