A feature I'd personally find useful - what's your opinions?
As described here (http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=7974.msg52655#msg52655) the location bar can be used to jump to a certain node by typing its name. But it only works for the main nodes. And for URLs of course.
I have the following in mind:
You could just jump to the location bar with a shortcut and then start typing the name of the desired node - supported by an Autocomplete feature.
It would be handy when you e.g. have the left panel collapsed or when you want to quickly locate a playlist which is nested in several sub-nodes or when you just like to do a lot af navigation by keyboard.
So the feature would be;
(1) A shortcut to access the location bar
(2) Possibility to jump to ANY desired node there
(3) Autocomplete feature
While (2) is the main component actually.
EDIT: Just changed the thread title, as I've seen in the wiki that the component is called "Adress Box" (I wrote "location bar (URL bar)" before. I didn't know the exact name and couldn't find any here: http://www.getmusicbee.com/help/reference/en/Using_MusicBee/

Here's another idea, what do you think of fuzzy search to access every single setting in the program?
e.g. Type the word "Pref" as a modifier and then "monitor start" will open the Preferences>Library section and there you can choose whether to monitor folders on startup for adding tracks to the library
Just a wish, I imagine it would be quite a challenge to implement ;D
p/s
Somewhat inspired by Sublime Text editor

Well, definitely handy :). But definitely a challenge to implement, I agree.
Maybe a question to the developers out there: Why can some specified nodes be adressed and others not? Is it a technical limitation somehow or was it for now just disregarded to do so?
