Add HotKey for the Everything checkbox in the search dialog.

Post by *Axel »

I would have one request:

Could you please add a hotkey to the Everything checkbox in the search dialog?

For the german and english environment the "y" would fit well.

That would make me happy, because I absolutely prefer the keyboard, and would make the handling of the Total Commander more consistent again.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately this isn't currently possible because 'Everything' is currently a hard coded string: I didn't want that translators translate it e.g. to 'Alles', because it's the name of the tool and not the English word 'Everything' here. But it also means that you can't have language specific hotkeys. I could have hard-coded 'y', but this would certainly break hotkeys in some languages. :(

I think that could be done - please make a note for translators: please DON'T translate this string, only assign a hotkey to it.

I also would say that the translators should be as clever enough to fulfill that demand, or?

There is alerady 24 possible hotkeys in that dialog (strings 5603-5619,5637-5638,5660-5670,2022) and 4 of them (among strings 5660-5670) also have to fit 3 other tabs in the dialog - so it is likely that there are not any hotkey letters left in several languages. (Although Y would actually work in Danish).

BTW where is string 5661="&View" used - it is not on the "F3 View" button (here is string 1072="F3 View" used)

I think a nice compromise would be to make it translable with the restriction that only the hotkey is translatable not the string itself.

@Lefteous:
I don't think, that this is possible, because the hotkey more or less is bound to the label/string itself.
