Package: aptitude Severity: wishlist As a convenience, it would be nice to pre-fill the forget-new dialog. There should also be a way to disable the pre-fill by default.
The data pre-filling the dialog could be based on the current view:
* Binary package list view
* A top-level heading: search term for that heading (~o etc)
* A section name: ~ssection
* A component name: ~ssection
(can't search for main/contrib/non-free components)
* A package name: ^escaped-package-name$
* Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
* Recommendations package list view and flat packages list view
* A package name: ^escaped-package-name$
* Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
* Debtags Browser package list view
* TAGLESS PACKAGES heading: empty
* A facet name: ~Gfacet::
* A tag name: ~Gfacet::tag
* A package name: ^escaped-package-name$
* Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
* Source package list view
* main/contrib/non-free: empty
(can't search for main/contrib/non-free components)
* one-character prefix: ~eX
* source package: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
* binary package: ^escaped-package-name$
* Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
* Individual package view
* A package name/version: ^escaped-package-name$
* Optionally: ~e^escaped-source-package-name$
