Directly go to Find text in Search function

Hi Christian, this is Pierre from Belgium.
I use the "Find text" in the Search function hundred times a day but the cursor is always in the "Search for" field, which is for me not interesting.
So I press CTRL+ALT+F7 and then ALT+X but sometimes, if I missed the CTRL+AL+F7, ALT+X closes TC, which is really annoying.
Is it possible to add a switch in wincmd.ini (or another way) which should directly put the cursor in the "Find text" field ? Or create an internal command named "Find text" ?
Can somebody tell me if it's possible to do this with Autohotkey ? I know it can do stuff like that but I've never used it.
Thanks in advance.

Just a solution if you use an external language (wcmd_fra.lng or wcmd_eng.lng...)
Edit your used language file, in the entry "5607=Te&xt(e)" and move the "&" who is before the "x" before the "T".
Save the changed file.
Exit TC and reload TC.
The new shortcut for "Find text" ist "Alt+T".
If you use the wcmd_dut.lng the shortcut is already "ALT+T"

Thanks Paul, your solution avoids the unwanted close of TC but I still look for a shortcut which should directly go to "find text".

AutoHotkey:
Code: Select all
#IfWinActive ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
^!F7::
Send ^!{F7}
Send !t
return
Change the 't' in 'Send !t' to whatever letter is used to activate the text field.
(BTW: three Belgians in one thread!)

So I press CTRL+ALT+F7
Just for other readers: CTRL+ALT+F7 is
not the default shortcut to open the Find dialog - it is ALT+F7

Which means you need to change the line ^!F7:: to !F7:: if you have a standard install.

As well as the line "Send ^!{F7}" to "Send !{F7}"

Thanks to all.
Sorry for the mistake, it was of course ALT+F7.
Meanwhile, I installed Autohotkey and I created a script which does what I want but I do not have another use of this program which costs me 4 MB of RAM just for a shortcut, even with an executable script.
And as I have an old PC, I will continue to use the old way.
Still looking for an option within TC to activate "Find text".

pgriffet,
Strange, it only takes ~1,4 MB of RAM here. Are you sure you are looking at the "Working Set Private" memory usage?

According to The PROCFS plugin, the exe script (which has a size of 200 KB) uses between 3.5 MB and 5 MB of RAM. I run XP SP1.
Actually, the size of RAM increases the first time I use the shortcut.
