Improve navigation in the "Search or jump to..." field
Problem to solve
We are organizing our projects as subgroups which have all a very similar structure; e.g.
.
|-- ksp0123/
| |-- BSP
| |-- docker
| |-- kernel
| |-- barebox
| |-- doc
| `-- internal-doc
|
`-- ksp0345/
|-- BSP
|-- docker
|-- kernel
|-- barebox
`-- internal-doc
Navigating into a repository (e.g. ksp0123/internal-doc) requires a lot of clicks atm. Entering the project name e.g. ksp0123 will lead to the group page where project must be searched; entering the repository name (e.g. internal-doc) will list all repositories with such a name and the wanted one is usually omitted because number of search results is limited.
The Projects and Group dropdown lists in the upper bar are not useful for this layout because it has the same limitations and "Frequently" visited has not enough entries to work with such a project layout.
Proposal
It would be nice when the "Search or jump to..." field in the upper right bar would allow a more powerful syntax; e.g.
-
allow paths:
ksp0123/would limit the selection of subprojects ofksp0123; additional letters (e.g.ksp0123/dwould limit selection further; hereksp0123/docker+ksp0123/doc) -
allow wildcards:
ksp*/*docwould showksp0123/doc,ksp0123/internal-docandksp0345/doc
It would be nice too, when this input field can be reached by a keyboard shortcut.
