New behavior encountered. Hitting Enter in Search bar tabs to Results pane

[raccoon]

I presume this is a new behavior of the current Alpha build, since I often press Enter in the search bar to affirm that my search results are current.

When I press the Enter key in the search bar, it now scrolls down and selects a random item in the Results pane. The Numpad Enter key does the same.

I tried this with Search As You Type enabled and disabled. Normally enabled.

[void]

Everything will select the most-run item when pressing ENTER from the search box.


To disable run history (and select the top most result):

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the History tab on the left.
• Uncheck Enable Run history.
• Click OK.

I have put on my TODO list to add an option to customize the 'on search ENTER action'.

To disable run history (and select the top most result)...

I don't remember focus ever leaving the Search bar. So, for clarity, I would prefer that focus stay in the Search bar after pressing Enter.

Thanks for explaining this. I do remember now seeing that recent runs request. As someone who doesn't look at or pay attention to recent runs, the item selection appeared to be arbitrary and "broken behavior."

[void]

Everything has always focused the most run result (Since Everything 1.4)

There's an option to keep the focus on the search bar:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /search_edit_enter_focus_results=0
  If successful, search_edit_enter_focus_results=0 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

I'll be changing this new ini setting to 'search_edit_enter_action' in a future update.

search_edit_enter_focus_results

/search_edit_enter_focus_results=0

Gracias. I don't remember turning this on. I wonder if you changed the default setting recently, or maybe I did something silly.

noted: /search_edit_enter_focus_results=0 will become /search_edit_enter_action=<value>

[void]

I have never had search_edit_enter_focus_results=0 as a default.

It could have been a bug in a previous version.
Or, Everything not saving/loading the config correctly.

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1290a replaces search_edit_enter_focus_results with search_edit_enter_action for more control.

To focus the search box and select all text when pressing ENTER from the search box:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /search_edit_enter_action=6
• If successful, search_edit_enter_action=6 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
