Renaming, Double-click [Brackets] auto-select no longer happening.

Post by crimzind »

Uh, terrible title, not sure how to concisely describe the issue.
So, in Everything 1.4, when renaming a file, if you double click on a segment of text that begins or ends with a Bracket, [ or ], it will include that automatically in the selection. I use brackets for tagging files a lot, [Tag1][Tag2], etc. If I double click on Tag1, it selects [Tag1]. Having that auto-selected is really convenient for me when I want to delete or quickly copy the [Tag] for adding to something else. It works in 1.4, but it's not doing this in 1.5a, and I'm not sure if/where there's a setting to restore that behavior.

Appreciate all the work you've done, this is a wonderful tool.

Thank you for your feedback crimzind,

Please try disabling search_edit_double_click_select_word:
  • 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:
    edit
  • Select search_edit_double_click_select_word.
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.

Everything 1.5.0.1358a adds a rename_double_click_select_word ini setting.

I have added a separate ini setting rather than having this setting piggy back off the search edit setting.



Please try disabling rename_double_click_select_word:
  • 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:
    rename
  • Select rename_double_click_select_word.
  • Set the value to: false
  • Click OK.
