Filter should have a way to match a : inside key names

[dima@…]

Hi. I'm using a stock JOSM 9979 from Debian. I want to create a filter to hide all objects that have any tag with key "labuildings:ain". I thus use a filter string:

labuildings:ain=*

This is rejected by the filter because : has special meaning to the filter, even though it is a perfectly valid, normal character in the key. It would be great if there was some way to make this search, like an escape character for instance. The examples on the front page didn't show such an example character, and \ didn't work.

Thanks

use this filter:
"labuildings:ain" or "labuildings:ain"=*

The quotation marks are required becasue the colon has a special meaning e.g. for type:node which refers to objects of the type node and not to the key type:node=*

Oh, I see. And that was even in the examples. I should have figured that out. Sorry for the bother.
