normalize backslashes in 'find file' command #2937

staabm posted onGitHub

using the great shortcut t in the code tab allows to navigation across the repo by filename.

sometimes you get the filename/filepath you are searching for from a tool. when working on windows this paths might contain windows directory separators instead of linux separators. github does not support finding files, when the search term contains a windows separator

it would be great if refined-github would support searching within the files view when path contain windows style separators, e.g. it would normalize a path like .\app\shared\models\Produkt.php to ./app/shared/models/Produkt.php so the native github file-finder will provide results

Repro

open https://github.com/bmitch/churn-php
press t
type (or paste from clipboard) the string Managers\FileManager ACTUAL: -> no results EXPECTED: -> get the same results as for the search string Managers/FileManager
instead type (or paste from clipboard) the string Managers/FileManager
you get the expected results

Tested on FF Nightly 76.0a1 (2020-03-25) (64-Bit) with refined-github 20.3.22

Not a commonly-useful feature, but it doesn't sound terribly difficult, probably roughly something like:

function handler(event) {
    if (event.key === '\\')) {
        insertTextTextarea('/');
        return false; // cancels original event
    }

    if (event.value.includes('\\')) {
        insertTextTextarea(event.value.replace(/\\/g, '/'));
        return false;
    }
}

delegate('.file-tree-input', 'input', handler, true); // capture:true

Could you implement and support it yourself?
