Next file hotkey in AltF7 search?

Post by *kophaziistvan »

Dear Community,

I perform a file search using Alt+F7, i get a list of files found. I navigate to the first one. Is there a hotkey to jump to the next found without opening the list again pressing Alt+F7?

I must be dumb but cant find with google.

Thank you

Hello and welcome 2kophaziistvan

Maybe this will help, else please ask again:


After the search, the result is shown in the search dialog itself.

You can use the buttons at the bottom to inspect a found file:

[F3], open the file in internal Lister, the search result waits in the background.
[F4], open the file in Notepad (or your own set text editor), the search result waits in the background.

[Go to file], marks the file in the folder (open the search dialog again for the next file).


[Feed to Listbox], get the search result in the normal list view (like as you had opened a folder).
Here you can do everything with the found files as normal with files.
(Maybe you want to add "User Defined Columns" to get more details)

While using [Feed to Listbox], the last view is then replaced by the search result,
but you can press the Backspace-key to return to the last view you had open.
(Or use CTRL+PageUp, or CTRL+R / F2 = "Reread source window")

If you click the "[Feed to Listbox]"-button while holding the SHIFT-key at the same time,
a new tab will be open, which you can just close (CTRL+W) after you are done.


Use right click context menu to open the file with the system default set application.

I use Search in separate process - Alt + Shift + F7 - because the search remains open in another window until you close it. You can use all of the commands that can be used in Alt+-F7, but the search window remains open with your current search results.
