Maybe a bug with the Esc action

Post by vsub »

By default the Esc key is set to close the window
Pressing Esc while Everything is doing something(scanning)is just closing the window which makes the option esc_action=1 do nothing
If hide_on_close is enabled,pressing Esc will just hide the window and not cancel the action(bringing the window back,I can see that Everything is still scanning)

If I remove the hotkey,pressing Esc while everything is searching does nothing(I don't know if that's normal)

This is by design.

Pressing ESC will cancel any of the following actions:
  • Middle mouse button scrolling.
  • Jump to text in the results list.
  • Releases window mouse capture if the current window has mouse capture.
  • Closes search suggestions or search history dropdown list.
  • Closes the filter bar dropdown list.
  • Clears any owned cut items on the clipboard.
  • Cancels a long search query or sort.
  • Exits fullscreen.

To cancel an index press Ctrl + Break, or right click the indexing progress bar and click Cancel Index.
