[Discuss] Spell search issue   [Discuss]

In Response to: [Discuss] Spell search issue (Juergen Hestermann)

This was debated at one time regarding direct/open spelling and it was decided at that time that invalid characters should not be accepted, just as they are not accepted in a TreeSpec prompt. You should get a ding with each invalid character...

ZTree does not remember the invalid characters you type, the characters are discarded.

In a prompt/closed mode, ZTree will accept the invalid characters (and ding with each one unless you type fast enough to overlap the dings).

I prefer the current behaviour (ding and ignore invalid characters) and I'm sure Kim would prefer not to have the topic re-opened (I'm pretty sure he regards the word "spelling" as a curse word at the moment).

However, I suppose that a "vote" may be reasonable, specifically:

Should direct/open spelling accept and display invalid characters or should they be discarded?

I vote for: Discard
