Summary

A one-line search field at the top of the Collections and Filters panes, narrowing the pane's tree to matching rows. Built for reaching a collection at the bottom of a long list, or a Filters option a few levels deep, without walking the tree.

Behaviour

  • Opening a pane (c, f, Tab, click) still lands on its rows.
  • The field is reached by ↑ from the tree's top row, or Ctrl+/ (also ctrl+underscore, which legacy terminals send).
  • In the field:
    • Letters type as text; shortcuts are off, as in any input.
    • ↓ / Enter go to the first matching row.
    • ← with the caret at the start collapses the pane, text or not.
    • Esc clears the text; on an empty field it goes to Results as before.
  • Matching:
    • Case-insensitive substring, folded via fnd.text_canon.fold.
    • A matching row keeps its subtree; parents of a match open; the matched text is bold.
  • The search never changes scope, selection or the persisted open/closed state.
    • It survives rebuilds, so toggling a row keeps the filter.
    • Folds made during a search are held aside and dropped when it clears.
    • Clearing restores the previous tree and the last-used cursor row.
  • Tab and Shift+Tab skip the fields.
  • Footer shows ^/ Find in both panes; the field has its own hints.

Implementation

  • fnd/tui/widgets/pane_search.py: the PaneSearch input, the prune pass over a rebuilt tree, and the SearchHighlightLabel mixin.
  • ScopeController gives each row a text and prunes after every rebuild. The cursor anchor is restored by row key over the live tree.
  • Collections now sits in a #collections_pane container, like Filters. The saved collapsed_panels id migrates.
  • Filters order is field, then the clear bar, then the tree. Neither is docked any more; both docked to the top before and overlapped.
  • Sidebar allocation counts the extra row.
  • Outline is left out for now; the widget is shared, so it can be added later.

Testing

  • tests/test_sidebar_pane_search.py: 30 tests covering the key paths, persistence, cursor restore, the expand-event race, and layout.
  • Each review fix has a negative control (the test fails with the fix reverted).
  • make batch-close green: ruff, pyright 0 errors, 6604 passed, 5 skipped, 12 tmux harness scenarios.
  • Driven live in tmux against a real index; typing in Filters re-renders in about 150 ms with 65 tags.

A one-line field at the top of each scope pane narrows its tree to the
rows that match, keeping their parents and opening the branches that hold
a match. Reached by Up from the top row or Ctrl+/ (also sent as Ctrl+_);
opening a pane and Tab still land on its rows.

In the field, Down or Enter moves to the rows, Left at the start collapses
the pane, and Esc clears, then backs out as before. Matches read bold.

A search never changes scope or the saved expand state: branches it opens
are tracked per node, and folds made during it last until it clears.
Clearing puts the cursor back on the row last used, found in the live tree.

The Collections tree now sits in a #collections_pane container like
Filters, which carries its border, title and collapse state; a saved
collapsed id migrates. The clear bar is no longer docked, so it stacks
under the field rather than over it.

Walkthrough

Collections and Filters panes now include search inputs that filter tree rows and highlight matching text. Keyboard shortcuts, focus navigation, cursor restoration, branch-fold handling, pane layout, and collapsed-pane persistence support the new search behaviour.

Changes: Sidebar pane search

Layer / File(s) Summary
Search input and tree navigation
fnd/tui/widgets/pane_search.py, fnd/tui/widgets/results_tree.py, fnd/tui/widgets/scope_tree.py, fnd/tui/widgets/clear_bar.py, tests/test_sidebar_pane_search.py
PaneSearch handles query entry, clearing, and keyboard navigation. Tree widgets can focus pane search and highlight matching text.
Tree filtering and state restoration
fnd/tui/scope_panel.py, tests/test_sidebar_pane_search.py
ScopeController filters tree rows, restores cursor positions, and tracks branch folds during search. Filter searches can reuse the cached tag catalogue.
Pane layout, focus, and persistence
fnd/tui/app.py, fnd/tui/actions.py, fnd/tui/menu.py, fnd/tui/results_view.py, README.md, tests/*
FNDApp adds pane search inputs, focus contexts, keyboard shortcuts, and pane-based layout and collapse handling. Tests and the keyboard reference cover the updated interactions and pane state.

A narrow search case can move the Filters cursor to another row. The change is mergeable with owner awareness, though preserving the cursor on the selected tag would improve navigation.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 58.18% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 55 functions across 17 files.

- Around line 1437-1512: Update _row_key to exclude the display text field when
building row identity keys, so catalogue and ghost leaves for the same tag match
during _restore_cursor; preserve the other data fields in the key.

Comment thread fnd/tui/scope_panel.py Resolved
The row key took in the display text, which differs between a tag's
catalogue leaf (alpha) and its ghost leaf (project/alpha). A search that
narrowed the tag out of the catalogue then lost the key, and the cursor
fell back to its old line on another row. The key now leaves text out,
as it did before the pane search.
