Typing the first few characters to jump to an entry... Fussy

Post by philosopher_dog »

Hi,
I'm noticing that BE is a bit fussy when I attempt to jump to an entry by typing the first few characters of the author's last name. I'm finding that I have to type the characters, if more than 1, very quickly, or it just jumps to the most recently pressed key. Is it just me, or is this feature being too quick for the average typer?

Hi,

There is a maximum time delay between keystrokes that I have built in. I can broaden that if people think it is too short.

The delay seems to be a bit on the short side for me too. Typically I can get three letters accepted, but the fourth gets treated as a new attempt.

OK, I'll increase the time allowed between keystrokes a bit in the next update.

Ah, excellent – I always found it a tad too short too :D
