Select search text instead of moving the caret to the end

Post by void »

The ini option select_search_on_set_mode controls the search edit's selection and caret position when setting the search text, such as from the command line or from a bookmark.

select_search_on_set_mode can be one of the following modes:
  • 0 = No change is made to the caret position or selection.
  • 1 = Select all the text and move the caret to the end.
  • 2 = Select nothing and move the caret to the end. (The default setting)
To change the select_search_on_set_mode:
  • Completely exit Everything.
  • Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
  • Change the following line:

    Code: Select all

    select_search_on_set_mode=2
    to:

    Code: Select all

    select_search_on_set_mode=<mode>
  • Where <mode> is one of the modes above.
  • Save changes and restart Everything.
