Use the arrows only for the filelist if it is in short or thumbnail mode.

Me too. I think that something really should be done about these arrows.

Actually the next beta will use the arrow keys in the quick search box except when in brief view mode. In thumbs view, the up/down arrows scroll sideways to the next/previous match, so left/right isn't needed.

Great to hear that. Thanks!

Christian,

How about this one? Quicksearch / filter keyboard navigation

Oh oh. I just read your suggestion again and fully understood it for the first time.

Previously I didnt understood how you came to a win+key shortcut.

It is a really nice addition to navigate the filelist with win+keys and to edit the control normal. Support++.

From my list above I would else prefer the solution:

I'm not in favor of using the Win key as a modifier here:
1. Most people will never figure that out
2. The Win key is normally used for the system, so using it for someting by default is risky - Windows may suddently claim it for itself. It's OK to let the user redefine it, though...

3. Not all keyboards have a win key (IBM Thinkpads i. e.)

Good evening,

4. Some users disable the Win keys in the registry to avoid a lot of snags from fingers slips (i.e. : Myself)…

Well, ok, internal commands then, for the actions described in Quicksearch / filter keyboard navigation?
