Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

mpv's playlist menu (press g-p) is a very nice feature.

The default mpv playlist menu does not have a feature to save or remember the filter text user input. It seems that the filter is designed for a single session and resets each time user close the menu.

Please add an option which can remember the filter text of playlist menu.

Research direction

Start at the playlist menu opened with g-p and trace how its filter text is initialized and dismissed. Define the option's persistence scope, then verify that reopening the menu restores the prior filter while preserving the current default behavior.
