Minor quicksearch bug press "´" and "Backspac

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Minor quicksearch bug press "´" and "Backspac

Post by *Samuel »

Minor quicksearch bug:
If I press "´" followed by "Backspace" TC filters the parent folder with the string "´".

I would expect:
- filter nothing
- go to parent folder and filter nothing
- filter "´"
- go to parent folder and filter "´"

But not:
- go to parent folder and filter "´"

The reason I did this several times: "Wurstfinger"

Is it one of your AHK hotkeys ?

When I press ` and Backspace, the ` character is deleted.

Ctrl+S is not activated before.
Just press "´" one time. (nothing happens)
And then press "Backspace"

Its not about the scripts.

Must be a different QS setting then, when I press `
the QuickSearch filter opens
1) If I have a file that starts with `, then the ` character is displayed and Backspace then deletes it.
2) If I don't have a file that starts with `, then the ` character is not displayed, and Backspace does nothing.

I use the dialog by letters option.
I mean " ` " or " ´ " but not " ' ". The keys that makes it possible to write "éè".

To make it possible to write "éè" the sign " ` " is not instantly written, but the computer remembers that it was pressed. If a "e" is written after it, then the result is an "é". At least that is how it works at a german keyboard and OS.

"´" is a so-called dead key, which is usually combined with the next character, e.g. "´" + e = é. It's not defined what happens when you try to combine the dead key with backspace. In a normal edit box, it would delete the character to the left of the position of where you started typing...

So what will you do? Change it or not?
I can live with everything as it is really minor.

Unfortunately I don't currently see how I could prevent the problem, sorry. :(

It's ok for me. Just move it to behavior which would not be changed.
