(Ctrl+)Home/End in the Filter field of the "Choose command" or "Choose plugin property" dialogs
An old painful issue.
I understand that the Home and End keys are busy moving to the beginning and end of the list.
But is it correct to leave this behavior when setting the focus on the "Filter:" field? The same goes for the coupled Ctrl+ key.
Also, Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right should select text by words, but it doesn't happen.

Home and End are already used in the quick filter to jump to the beginning/end of the filter text. I use this a lot to modify a filter (you can re-open the last filter with Ctrl+Shift+S).

Please read the names of the dialogs in the topic title. It's not about quick search/filtering in file panels.
Call: cm_CommandBrowser; Ctrl+M > [=?] Plugin button

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes, I'm using Home/End for the command list, just like the cursor keys. It's debatable whether they should work for the edit box instead. Ctrl+Shift+Left+Right isn't a standard Windows hotkey in edit boxes, I have to handle it manually in places where I add it, e.g. in the TC command line.

May I suggest to make Home and End work in the edit box if it is focused. Make Home and End work in the command list if focused, and make Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End ALWAYS work in the commands list (as they do now)

Depending on the focus. I like the petermad offer.ghisler(Author) wrote:It's debatable whether they should work for the edit box instead.
Why non-standard?ghisler(Author) wrote:Ctrl+Shift+Left+Right isn't a standard Windows hotkey in edit boxes
Copy, paste, and other general keyboard shortcuts ⋁ |
Ctrl + Shift with an arrow key | Select a block of text. |
Hotkey acts the same in many edit fields: Win+R, notepad, Explorer address field and many more.
In the TC, if I'm not mistaken, this is the only problem field.
I was wrong. There was a glitch. Now this hotkey is all right. I apologize for anxiety.

I would yet like to be heard. Often have to press Home/End for the convenience of editing, while the current behavior is confusing.Fla$her wrote: 2021-04-23, 19:28 UTCDepending on the focus.

Sorry, I prefer to leave it as it is now.

Very sorry. Well, honestly, it's very inconvenient to edit like now. It is very long to move the cursor character-by-character with left/right arrows.
Maybe at least pass this behavior for Ctrl + Home/End in a focused filter field?

The "Quick search" field in the "Directory Tree"-window (CD Tree... Alt+F10) would also be a field for me,
which, in my opinion, could be considered for a revision in the sense of a better editability.
