Turn off layer find

Postby snel » Sat Dec 26, 2009 2:39 pm

Is their any way to make it so the layer dialog does not accept keyboard input?
When I show or hide a layer, the layer dialog gets focus and then when I press a key, it goes into a find mode on the layer dialog. I never even intend for the input box to pop up, and I find myself cursing loudly every time I forget to make sure the canvas has focus before making a keystroke. This would not be so bad, but it takes several seconds of waiting for the key input box to go away. It is rather frustrating because in .46 the input box would go away immediately when you clicked your canvas, but in .47 the input box sticks around too long and any other input is completely locked until the box goes away. Overall the use of a find box for layers is arguable. So is there a way to eliminate this input box? Or is this something I need to submit to the feature people?
