Hello Joshua,
With the 3 letter fix, it is really improved! Thanks.
Please add, ability to Press Enter as well. Otherwise, it is not possible to search on smaller words like: AI, or A1 etc...

Topic: Search Slow: Partial Fix suggestion here. (2 replies, posted in EN : Help, suggestions, discussions, ...)
Currently the search is VERY slow. There are several issues why this is happening:
1. The search is a REAL TIME search, meaning that as soon as you type "ANY" letter or symbol it will start to search.
2. There is no way to stop it once it starts searching.
So, for example... if I want to search for Button, and I press the letter B, it will now search ALL Items for the letter B, anywhere in their field.
This will take a LONG TIME.
FIX: This can be fixed to some degree by using the following:
Option 1. Force the User to press Enter when they are Ready to search... in other words, change it from "Real Time" to "when search field is populated".
Option 2. Allow user to "Interrupt" the search and Restart it, as soon as you press a new key in the field.
Option 3: ALLOW Real Time Search to start after User Configurable # of letters/symbols have been entered (Or If Enter Pressed)
For example, the user can set the Real Time to 3 letters... (or just 1 if that is what they want).
If I want to search for Button...
then the search will ONLY start when I press "But" if I have it set to 3 letters.
To Prove that this idea works... it is simple. Restart QElectroTech (To remove Search Cache)... then
Copy "Button" from here... and paste it into the search. (Don't type it in).
You will see that it is VERY fast.
Next: highlight what you typed into search and press delete.
then just type the letter B into search, and see how long it takes before you can press U.
It will take a LONG time because it literally has to search everything for "B".
(If you repeat this, it does improve, but really, that is because of caching).

Topic: Feature: Terminal Length (to attach conductors) (1 replies, posted in EN : Help, suggestions, discussions, ...)
Hello,
Right now, a terminal to attach a conductor cannot be edited. (Is there a way?)
(I tried to see if it was actually an element, but I don't see any file name in elements that suggests an editable terminal).
I would like to be able to change the "Length" of the terminal, because the terminals are either little too long for some types of drawings or a little too short. I also don't like when I try to embed them into things like switches because they have a funny look on my drawings.
Any ideas?
See attached image example:

Topic: Feature: Elements to be composed of other Elements, or add new type? (0 replies, posted in EN : Help, suggestions, discussions, ...)
Hello,
One issue that I have had that would save a lot of work is if I can build elements out of other elements.
If that is not possible, then perhaps add a new type: a "combination type" that allows us to build a combination of elements that can be used to create other combination types.
For example, if I want to create a Motor Starter, I have to hand make every aspect of it, each contact, each heater, coils etc.
It would be convenient if I could save a "heater" element, "contact" element, and coil element and then combine them later into "3 phase motor starter" that I could then add to a schematic drawing (.qet )
Thanks
