flash-filter in the editor
How do I use the flash filter in the editor to quickly work with the detailview?
The filter in the detailview allows you to filter the whole list to only those items matching the search string. Instead of typing in the search string or using copy paste, the flash-filter with drag&drop can be used.
Select the item in the detailview, press the alt-key on the keyboard and while holding the alt-key, now click again on the same item in the column of which you want to use a part or all of the text for the filter.
Now the text in the column appears with a cursor as if you could edit it (although this is not possible) and you can mark parts or the complete text. After marking the text while still holding the alt-key, you can drag and drop the text in the filter field of the colum, and the filter will be applied immediately.
