Escape undoing cut to clipboard is a pain

[Kurobuns]

Pressing the Escape key will do the following built-in actions before your custom action is executed (File | Close)

• Cancel the middle mouse button scroll.
• Cancel the Jump to buffer (typing in characters into the result list).
• Cancel mouse capture.
• Clear any files/folders Everything has put on the clipboard.
• Cancel a search.
• Cancel a sort.
• Leave fullscreen mode.

Was Everything doing any of the above when you pressed the escape key?

If Everything fails to close after pressing Escape key, does pressing the Escape key again close Everything?

Hi. Is it possible to make Everything not do one of those built-in actions? Escape undoing cut to clipboard is a pain in the butt for me. It makes it so I have to cut, change windows to where I want to paste it and paste, then come back to close the Everything window. :x

Moved from ESCAPE key does not always exit Everything

I recommend closing the Everything window with Alt + F4 or Ctrl + W

ESC will not close the Everything window in future versions by default.



Everything 1.5 will have the option to disable the cancel action on ESC:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  esc
• Select esc_action.
• Set the value to: None
• Click OK.

To set ESC to close the Everything window:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Keyboard tab on the left.
• To the right of Show commands containing, search for:
  close
• Select File | Close.
• Click Add....
• Press ESC and click OK.
• Click OK.
