Can we get a new Keyboard Shortcut for Search > Folder ?

Post by trufindR »

Environment: w7x64 - portable - everything as a Service

Previously, I'd set my StrokeIt mouse gestures to toggle between e and f
while Search > Everything or Search > Folder.

Now in 1.5.1304a.x64, < Match Prefix > has stolen the thunder,

and although StrokeIt still gets it done with 19 ! TAB-TAB-TAB-TAB-TAB-etc entries, it's a little kludgy! :ugeek:

Is there another &key assignment you might give that option? Thank You :D

I will trial disabling all Alt keys under the Search menu in the next alpha update.
This might also help prevent accidentally changing a search option.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll make another post here once this is available for testing.


For now, consider renaming Match Pre&fix with localization_strings:
  • Completely exit Everything
  • Open your Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe
  • Change the following line:
    localization_strings=
    to:
    localization_strings=Match Pre&fix=Match Prefix
  • Save changes and restart Everything.

Please also consider setting a keyboard shortcut for your filter under Search -> Organize Filters -> Select Filter -> Keyboard shortcut.

Yes - of course! thx

Like Directory Opus, it'll be 10 years before I begin to use 5% of the Intelligence/Power of Everything Search Engine
(Though I thought I looked through all the possibilities, I never knew about that little essential applet).

Everything 1.5.0.1307 removes the Alt + f shortcut for Ignore Prefix.
