Improving QuickAccess/Searchbar

[tassadarius]

Implementation issue for the record: #162

JCrypTool now has a Search-Icon using the eclipse functionality of org.eclipse.ui.window.quickAccess. It could be improved.

Room for Improvement:

• Adjust the position of the search icon to be more prominent (e.g. focused on the right side as in eclipse)
• Try to optimize search results (filter unnecessary commands / allow tag search)

Cool :)
I'm excited to see it in action in the weekly build!

As of 2021, this works. Concrete ideas for more improvements should be opened as separate feature requests.

I would suggest to reopen this issue because it is already a feature request for improvements of the quick access bar.

[simlei]

I'd be fine with that; question is, how feasible are the "room for improvement" options. As I recollect it, for neither we had seen a straightforward way of implementing. Therefore, I fear this issue may stay open forever + not contribute too much useful information, and my emphasis on concrete ideas. Still want this reopened?

[grthor]

You're right. The quick access bar is a part of eclipse that is hard to modify.
Better let it closed, as we can participate on improvements done by eclipse by not modifying it.

The current hover tooltip is Aktionen finden (Strg+3) in German. We think that quick search (ctrl + 3) / Schnellsuche (Strg + 3) may be suited besser.
