[Solved] Key assigned not working (partially)

[w64bit]

If I assign a key to View > Preview and the cursor in the search box, the key it's not working.

[void]

Please make sure "Use shortcut in" is set to Global for your keyboard shortcut.

Does the issue persist?

[w64bit]

Yes, it persist.
It's working only when I click on search list and in Quick Find.

That works for me.

With the cursor in the search box?

With the cursor in the search box?

Yes.

I have performed a retest - this time with the x86 version in addition to the x64 version.
The Everything search box was not filled in the test and was filled with search parameters in another test.

I can show or hide the preview window with Ctrl+Q as required.

Perhaps there is a difference in the settings?
Focus search on activate

Found the problem.
F1...F3 + F5...F12 are working.
F4 it's not working when the cursor it's in the search box.

[void]

The search box (technically a combobox) will eat F4 key-presses.

F4 = Open/close the drop-down list.

[void]

I am going to look into a way to disable the search edit eating F4 from within Everything..

The user should be able to set such as standard function key to anything they like..

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1376a removes the hard coded F4 keypress to show the search history drop down list.

This keypress is now added as a customizable option.
It will be automatically added to new installations.

To manually add this keypress to existing installations:

• 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:
  history
• Select: Search Edit | Show All Search History
• Click Add....
• Press F4 and click OK.
• Click OK.
