ALT + F7, search for some text in files. Selecting a file and pressing F4 opens the file in an editor. Fine so far. If you close and reopen the FindFiles dialog, the "search for" combo is active. When F4 is pressed, the combo gets expanded (because F4 does that for all combos) but since a file is selected in the list, it also opens the files.
IMO, either the combo should not be expanded or the file should not be opened in the editor if the active control is the combo.
It's not a big thing but IMO the file should not be edited in that case (when the combo is the active control). F4 should just expand the combo.

Thanks, I didn't know that F4 had a meaning for comboboxes. I will restrict F4 to when the cursor is in the result list.

Perhaps this is more accurate but IMO it might be better if you restricted F4 to work when the cursor is NOT on a control of type combobox. Some may find it useful to have F4 working even when another button has been pressed via the mouse and is currently the active control...ghisler(Author) wrote:Thanks, I didn't know that F4 had a meaning for comboboxes.
