[Pan-users] FEATURE Request: Clear Find Fields

[Peter]

When using the find text box to filter results in the Groups or Header
Panes it would be useful to have a button to use to clear the entry.
Currently, unless I am missing something, the only way to retrieve the
whole header or group list after Find is to manually delete the contents
of a Find text entry field.

I think of the way Evolution handles this when filtering its folders. Just
to the right of the Find text entry box, are two buttons: Find Now, and
Clear. I think it's OK to use [ENTER] to begin the Find, but I do think it
would benefit users to have a Clear button, or even a key binding to do
that. Even a little button with an [x] in it would suffice, like this:

Find: [x] ______________

similar to the way some spreadsheets have a clear contents button next to
the entry field. You could use a tooltip to show that [x] means clear
(note the [] indicate a button, not the literal characters to be in the
button.

Unless.....of course, this facility is already there and I am too dense to
see it!

Thanks for your consideration.
