Use keyboard shortcuts while quick search is active

[Balderstrom]

You can move the cursor up and down onto files with the Arrow Keys, you can also remove the QuickSearch with SHIFT+INS, and you can Delete characters in the SearchBox with SHIFT+DEL (or Backspace).

Personally, all I would like is for the currently existing cm_ShowQuickSearch to function as a toggle, if you issue the command and the QS is closed, show it, if its already open, close it.


I.E. Currently, Select multiple files:
Type a couple chars,
INS, INS, UpArrow,Shift+INS

No INS key on my keyboard. Image. (and its good like that -> word and other text editors that go to overwrite on accidental press.)

IMO "Shift+INS" is almost harder to use then ESC. (Especially with my keyboard.)

Here's my keyboards, Scorpius iOne, and Logitech G15 ... oddly enough, I prefer the $12 keyboard to the Logitech for most purposes.

I prefer some shortcuts to work on the file panel, too. But it should be configurable to satisfy everybody. Quite complex to have this internally in TC, isn't it?

To have all possibilities, a Quicksearch box handling all normal shortcuts would be the best IMO. This way shortcuts, that should close the Quicksearch box and then effect the file list, can be easily customized with e.g. AHK:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, QUICKSEARCH ahk_class TQUICKSEARCH
	Alt::
		Send, {ESC}{F10}
		Return
	^r::
		Send, {ESC}{Ctrl Down}r{Ctrl Up}
		Return
	Home::
	End::
		Send, {ESC}{%A_ThisLabel%}
		Return
