Latest revision as of 23:53, 31 May 2008

Press Shift+Q to show quicksearch box and then use it as usual. After each keypress it will be closed, recalled with the former content and then docked at the lower end of the TC window. The effect is that the status bar will be always visible while quicksearching and it will always reflect the found file-/foldername.

Attention: Always close the quicksearch box by pressing ESC, otherwise it will continue running in the background!
