Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/203

Describe the bug
When you search in a playlist (to e.g. cue songs), the filtered list of songs don't persist.

To Reproduce
Search in a playlist.

Expected behavior
When searching, Enter should return the focus to the playlist instead of playing the hovered song. To clear the search, press / again and remove the search text.

Environment

OS: Arch
Application version: 0.14.0
Application features: -F notify,image,lyric-finder,pulseaudio-backend,streaming,media-control --no-default-features

Thanks for the awesome app!

This is intended behavior. Personally, I don't like the idea of "enter should return the focus to the playlist ... press / again and remove the search text".

The search popup only captures character inputs, so you can still use up, down, ctrl-{char}, etc to select filtered items in the playlist.

I noticed that too. How do you recommend doing things when wanting to queue multiple songs with the same search term? Because after entering the song's context menu, the search is reset.

For add to queue, there is a command to do that: AddSelectedItemToQueue, so you don't need to go through the track menu. The command is binded by default to Z, which doesn't work well with search, so you'll need to bind a different key to the command. For example,

[[keymaps]]
command = "AddSelectedItemToQueue"
key_sequence = "C-z"

Then you can use ctrl-z to add an item to queue while keeping the search popup open.
