602697 - Modify the documentation application to have a type-ahead search field for modules

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: Documentation, enhancement, P3)

Description

[/\/\arcio Galli]

I find myself using a lot the documentation localhost system.  

Here is a topic for brainstorming..

A type ahead at the very top of the sidebar. You type on it and it suggests on the sidebar the possible panels related to what you want. Then you can use the keyboard to go down the actual sub options. But on the right content area, it pulls everything first. An an example, when you type [module] it highlights the sidebar panel module, folds all others, and at the same time brings all the modules over the right content area. Then I move with the keyboard, over the sidebar, and I reach out to tabs.

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".

I'm going through the older bugs in the tracker system, trying to clear out some of the cobwebs.

CCing wbamberg to see if this is still wanted by the team. :)

It's a nice idea, but not something I could see getting done very soon, and I'd be happy to see it WONTFIX-ed.

Resolve WONTFIX, after review.
