Keyboard shortcuts when in quick search dialog

As a heavy user of the quick search dialog this is a very dear wish for me
What I'd like to have is the possibility to access the main menu when inside the quick search dialog, i.e. with
Alt+F. Also,
Del key isn't currently supported.

DEL key works fine for me (deletes character on the right of the cursor or whole selection)
Please, tell me what do you want to do with the content of the quick search dialog, using the main menu functions ?

You go with the mouse and edit what you typed? Wicked...

I think that pressing CTRL, ALT or SHIFT should leave the quick search dialog.
But pressing LEFT/RIGHT ARROW should move the cursor as expected, not send you to the command line. We have SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW for that.

Simple AHK workaround for menu access via Alt key (press and release Alt):
Code: Select all
#IfWinActive, QUICKSEARCH ahk_class TQUICKSEARCH
Alt::
Send, {ESC}{F10}
Return
I miss editing functions in the search dialog, too (cursor left/right, maybe Ctrl+left/right and marking/overwriting characters with Shift+left/right).
Unfortunately I didn't find a way to set the cursor position in the quicksearch field yet to implement at least basic cursor navigation.

Works fine here.
Are you using the brief view?

Indeed, cursor navigation is meanwhile working, sorry - at least to move the cursor.
But overwriting still doesn't work: having the files
HISTORY.TXT
HHISTORY.TXT
HELP.TXT
and having "
His" in Quicksearch I can mark the last two characters "
is", but can not overwrite the marked part by typing "
e".
Typing "
h" instead shows why: instead of overwriting the selected part the letter gets inserted at the start of the selection (btw, no matter if the cursor is at beginning or end of it).
Something for the bugs section?

Support from me.
But AFAIR was already suggested and Christian was against it.

Its possible now to overtype in quicksearch.
Thanks Christian.

Overtyping now works fine here, too (TC 7.5 RC1), thanks.
