VSCode-like search behaviour

[Dragos]

Hello!

In VSCode, no matter what you have focused in the "Go to File..." quick select menu (default Keybind: Ctrl+P) if you start typing it refocuses the search bar.

Essentially I want it so anytime it detects keystrokes with no modifiers it starts registering those keystrokes in the search bar, even if Im focused in the results list (as opposed to how it happens now where if I have the results list focused it tries to jump to a file based on my keystrokes - maybe you can have a setting to toggle between these two behaviours or have a shortcut to trigger jumpto before looking for keystrokes to jump to?)

This would make this software absolutely perfect, splendid software by the way.

Thank you so much, and most importantly, I hope you have a nice week

Thank you for your feedback Dragos,



Everything 1.5 will have a quick find option.

When the quick find bar is shown, typing in the result list will change your quick find.

The quick find bar can be shown by pressing / in the result list.



If you would like to try this now, please check out the Everything 1.5 alpha.

By default, typing in the result list will jump to an item.

To always perform a quick find search instead:

• 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:
  typing
• Select: search_for_text_when_you_start_typing
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

An option to change the main search from the result list doesn't exist.
Typing in the result list and having the results change would be too quirky.
