Installed beta in Windows Sandox just to test it out.
Its a huge productivity killer. The search option i have in 4.9.3 is really great.
Here’s how I use it: Click on the plus icon and search. Press key down, then key left to select the item and then press enter.
In the beta, after click, there is no search, so now I have to learn where each dynamic event is nested. After that, if I navigate using keyboard and press right arrow to open a sub-menu, I can’t see the sub menu… and I can’t go back to the main menu - neither left key nor esc key work.
Overall, a huge step back in terms of productivity. It does look better than earlier, but like Tom, I would definitely want the search option to be retained somehow.
I have added these clicks into my workflow to avoid writing too much manually in code… but if the current beta implementation does not improve, I will have to go back to typing it out manually, as that would be way faster.
