shortcut "s" to invoke the search folder command

Post by void_hero »

Hi Team,

Version 1.5.0.1303a (x64)

scenario:
"Show Search Everything folder context menu item" checked, then

right-click the folder->"s" striking("Search Everything 1.5a...")
previously: it will search the folder in everything;
currently: it will create a "s"hortcut instead, NOT search the folder in everything;

question:
what changed here to cause this issue?

expectation:
right-click the folder->"s" striking->search the folder in everything as previously;

Thanks for the consideration & possible fulfilment.

1303a made some changes to the context menu.

I added localization support.
The "S" shortcut was removed due to conflicts with other menu items.


If you would like to add the Alt shortcut back:
  • From the Start menu, search for regedit
  • Click Registry Editor.
  • In the Registry Editor, navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Search Everything 1.5a...
  • Change the (Default) value to:
    &Search Everything 1.5a...
    (place the & before the character you would like to use as a shortcut)
  • Navigate to:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Search Everything 1.5a...
  • Change the (Default) value to:
    &Search Everything 1.5a...
    (place the & before the character you would like to use as a shortcut)
  • Close the Registry Editor.

currently i don't see this command is conflict with other menu items, while i use this folder shortcut a lot, so...

thanks for the prompt solution here, it worked back as expected.

thanks.
