I hate to say it, but just wanted to point out that the Views Hacks module already has an Auto-Submit submodule that does this very well :)

Yes. But it seems that Views hack has no auto-submit with text fields while this module does. Am I right?

im trying both modules now, views hacks are reacting after when i click somewhere outside active button.

Sorry, forgot to double-check and reply, but I believe it refreshes with an onblur event (when you click outside). I agree that it might be nice to have an option to choose between keyup and and onblur for the focus.

If keyup is what it does now, it might be bad on performance for certain views. Also, View hacks allows you to configure per view, which I don't think this views live filters does from looking at the code.

I just want to point out that there's a patch for BEF that offers similar functionality, but allows you to configure PER FILTER, which is nice. So if you have one select filter that you want to refresh automatically, but a text field that you want to apply on button press, then that's doable.
#797772: Make Apply button redundant (instant filter)

infojunkie is aware that this would be a decent feature for views hacks, and he's willing to accept a patch:
#956180: Activate auto-submit on a per filter basis

With such functionalities, I agree this module is far from being at Views Hacks level... Nothing new in this module indeed...
