Are you referring to the result of TC's "Find Files" - shown in TC's file panel, or are you referring to a Windows' Search result?

tc main window > commands > synchronize directories > compare
at the results window there are a few files with wrong file days or time (in may case) . I press - CTRL+ALT+L or R to change the files properties .....

This should probably be considered as a bug report.
There's a conflict between two sets of hotkeys, both hard-coded. The first is the properties dialog in the Synchronize Directory dialog, and the second is the Quick Search dialog, if starting with the letter L or R.
So, I suspect the unwanted dialog in the Sync Dirs is the "Quick Search" dialog, not the search results.

Did this error disappear if you configured a different way to launch quick search in the Configuration - Options - Quick Search dialog?

i did what you suggest. I change to option No2 > ALT+Letters. Now the bug at synchronize directories is solved !!!

But now, when i press ALT+X to exit the app, it appears the option search (CTRL+S)

I can confirm this bug when Quick search is set to Ctrl+Alt+letters (default)

But now, when i press ALT+X to exit the app, it appears the option search (CTRL+S)

I cannot confirm this.

when we have set > Configuration - Options - Quick Search - ALT+Letters
and we return at the main screen of wincmd, then i press > ALT+X to exit the app, but now i appears the option of search (CTRL+S)
can you test it ?

OK - that is correct, but I don't see how that could be different. Same thing with navigating the main menu with Alt+key (like for example Alt+F for opening the Files submenu) - that will not works either when Alt+letter is chosen for Quick Search.

And Alt+X is not a documented way of exiting the program (Alt+F4 is) - please see the keyboard.txt file or the Help.

It is even mentioned in history.txt that Alt+X is disabled in the main window, when Alt+letter is selected for Quick Search.

12.10.11 Fixed: Remove underline from Alt+F4 Exit (x character) when using Alt+Letters for quick search, otherwise Alt+X closes the window (64)

I am not sure either that the problem in the Sync dialog when Ctrl+Alt+letter is configured for Quick Search can be fixed - for the same reasons. But maybe it could be changed so that pressing Shift+Ctrl.Alt+L and Shift+Ctrl.Alt+R would always copy the file properties.

The hotkeys Ctrl+Alt+L and Ctrl+Alt+R can't be used in synchronize dirs when the quick search method is set to Ctrl+Alt. I don't know why this was moved to the bugs forum, it's not possible to fix this.
