Find Files Dialog: 7 <TAB> to get to Find Text option

Hi,
I use the "find text in files (alt+F7)" function very often and starting with TC7b it now needs 7 <TAB>s to get to the checkbox (In TC6.5 you only needed 5 Tabs).

Isn't there a more comfortable way to select this option? Or could you at least place the checkbox more to the top so the Tab-Order becomes 5 again (or less) ? I really try to avoid using the mouse ;)

cheers

To further the explanation a bit, all those underlines you see in dialogs and menus are the keys you can type together with Alt to activate them. Under certain conditions they're not visible until you press Alt, but you'll soon learn them by heart.

Um, "know them by heart" is the expression.

This is a Windows 'feature' It is the first thing I deactivate after a fresh Installation. I like to see the underlined chars always, and not by pressing ALT. Some applications or dialogs may override this behaviour though...

EDIT
BTW, you can find this setting in Windows' display properties: 'Appearance'-Tab, -> 'Effects'
I'm using a german XP, but I hope my translation is correct...
