[question] it's inside .. search hotkey related ..

Post by asamirid »

greetings ..

weeks ago i learned here that i can start everything search from current file explorer location by pressing the [new window] hotkey .. and new everything window appears loaded with the current explorer path in the search field..

this was very helpful tip ...

but unfortunately inside everything when i select a result item and press the same hot key .. i get a new empty window !!

my question is .. can i do the same thing from inside everything itself.. i select an item from the search results press a hot key .. bring a new everything window with the item path loaded in .. not the full item path, just the parent path "the folder contain the item" ..

did i declared my meaning well ??

is there a way todo that ??

hay i found this in tools > options > general > keyboard > hotkey list

result list | hot item parent | search in everything

i made a hotkey alt + ` to activate

and this do search the selected item in the current window :D :D .., but replacing the current search.

is there a way to make it start in a new search window ..

I will consider an option to Explore in Everything in a new window.

Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, please try right clicking the file in the Path column and under the Parent folder submenu, hold down Ctrl and click Explore in Everything.

-If Explore in Everything is not shown, hold down Shift when right clicking.
