Looses focus when typing in field

Created on 15 December 2023, 11 months ago

Problem/Motivation

I have a view with exposed filters and Iยดm using Better Exposed Filters. When i start to type into an exposed filter field then everything works fine when i type fast enough, but if a user is typing slow the focus of the exposed filter field get lost and you need to click again into this field to continue writing. Great would be when you type that it doesnยดt loose the focus on the field and still refreshes the list while typing.

    We can configure it in the following way:
    Navigate to View Settings -> Advanced -> Exposed Form -> Exposed Form Style -> Settings
    Increase the Delay for textfield autosubmit.

    Please let me know if this solves your issue.

    thanks for the info, but i think this does not solve the problem. i use it on a website where the users are mostly 60 years and older and they will write quite slow i guess. so if i set the delay to 3 seconds then it is quite a long time but then someone will press the button earlier than the site refreshes and this would make the module useless.
    iยดm not a backend coder, but is it possible to set the focus after the refresh of the view back to the field where the last text was entered at exposed filters?

    I would like it too, that BEF could do instant searches keeping the cursor position like " Views_autosubmit โ†’ " .
    It gives a a better search experience. When you are using it is not important the delay time to submit because you can maintain typing.
    The problem of Views autosubmit is that this module is not as powerful as BEF.
