Thsi toppic has already been discussed (so I cant find the topic right now) and iirc chris said something like he looks into into it...

Did a search, but could not find it, and the issue is still in TC, so I though I will post it.

I also remember about it:

There were 2 things involved:
1. This only happens before searching (so the window with result list is hidden). If you have a result list already, the it doesn't stop.
2. Some people argued that is the hidden list responsible for the fact that Shift+TAB stops on General, but they said it is better like this.

I remember no firm commitment about looking into changing this "feature".

I am for making it roll over in both cases, it feels more consistent.

If invisible items are also disabled, then Windows should not tab to them...

Yup, that's how it should work.

Hi,

When I'm using the Find text function of the File search dialog, I usually use the Tab key to advance to the Find text checkbox.
However, when I press one more Tab, it selects the title (or what is it called in english) of the General tab.
Which is fine, one can press Tab a few more times to get back to the checkbox, but is it possible to implement a Shift+Tab backwards navigation feature?

Thanks in advance!

Shift+Tab already does this for me

Also when you tab so many times that the "General" Tab gets focused? - not here. Shift+Tab only works while focus is inside the dialog.

Petermad,
My observation is a tad different:
I can walk through the "General" back and forth with no problem - on condition the Find Text checkbox is clear.
Get stuck walking back when the Find Text checkbox is ticked though.

Hope it helps,

That makes no difference for me.
I can still tab forward and backward.

A side note...

Do you notice the underlined charaters?

Just press Alt+t together (for english language) to focus the Find text checkbox.



"Shift+Tab backwards navigation" works for me too.
Also CTRL+Tab to switch through the single tabs. (also Shift+CTRL+Tab works)

Anyone stuck on "General" upon TC launch prior to first search?

Confirmed. You can hold down the Tab key and repeatedly cycle through all options, but not with Shift+tab.

Damn! I totally forgot about the Alt+ shortcuts (I practically never use them)! Thanks!

Although. Try to use Ctrl+Tab to move around the tabs, then try to use Shift+Tab to cycle backwards.
Doesn't work. You can only cycle backwards until you reach (select) the tabs. (as petermand and white wrote)

Similar (same?) here with 10.51rc2 x32 dark @ Win10x64:

As long as "Find text" is not ticked or was not ticked since opening the dialog, Tab and S+Tab work as expected (also cyclically).

Once "Find text" is ticked or was ticked (i.e., is deactivated again), Tab still works (also cyclically) but S+Tab will only go back until "Search for".
If I hit S+Tab in "Search for", the focus disappears entirely and will only come back if I hit Tab again.
