When that one piece of software finally implements that niche feature you have wanted for the past 5 years (picture below of four guys on a sofa celebrating and pointing towards a screen outside of the image)

    I'm waiting for Linux 7.4 to drop so I can have non-Steam games working with my Switch 2 Pro Controller out of the box.

    I would recommend the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless. I'm using that as my main, for Rocket League and other games. Works great. Cheaper and better than Xbox controllers, PS controllers, even Nintendo's ones. I think I paid around $40–50 for it. Much, much better quality than my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, which was almost $200 and now barely works.

    I doubt there is a better deal at present than the Gamesir Nova Lite, but Gamesir keeps undercutting themself.

    Dual hall effect sticks (no dead zone, that's right, zero dead zone), wireless USB, bluetooth, and wired functionality for $25. That's $5 less than the MSRP on the Logitech F710.

    Did that go away at some point? I thought we had that since forever?

    It got replaced with a search function. It searches as you type and filters your view as it finds things. Typeahead just jumps to to first file that matches your input.

    Ah. I had to do some deep reading to find that this can sometimes be called typeahead search. 😅 I get you. Myeah. One of the reasons why I like to just use the terminal, or terminal file browsers like yazi.

    Yeah it's weird that this is not default versus initiating a deep search on type. I would expect a file/directory selection when typing a letter, only files in the current directory, like you describe.

    This post claims it went missing around 2012: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/search-vs-the-old-type-ahead-find/772

    We'll probably never see it in the official version, but at least there's forks that reimplement. Note that in this thread a GNOME dev says that the suggested patch to reimplement typeahead is of bad quality and to expect bugs, but I've been running this patched version for so many years now, I've never encountered a bug related to the typeahead search, ever. They're just being stubborn for no reason.
