I would like to type in scales with my keyboard in a “Current Scale” search filed or better inside the window which shows the current selected scale like in scaler 2. I don’t like to scroll down a huge list of scales just to find a simple Emin scale.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

This is what you can do:  
(1) Click on All Scales  
(2) Enter the scale name in the Search box

and the result will be:

Okay. Thanks for the hint.  
It works but not as expected.  
When typing in a single letter like “E”, nothing happens. I need to add additional notations.  
And I think in Scaler 2 I was able to type in the scale without a blank space in between like this “Emin”. Now I need to write “E min” with a blank space. That’s one action more than needed.

Update: I tested different searches: If I type F# min nothing is shown. Could it be that the search function is not ready yet? It seems it was more comfortable in Scaler 2.

Something else I recognized are the necessary “mouse clicks” in the menus.  
For example “Sounds”. When I click on Sounds and hover over the right menu with the different instruments I need to additionally click on one of them. Less clicks are always better. Why don’t you show the next menu when I hover over the Instruments? I guess there is a reason why.
