[Suggestion] Auto ignore shortcuts like shift+f if input area is focused.

[B1-66ER]

Shift with typable characters.
Am I the only one to use single modifier shift in keyboard shortcuts?

[void]

I don't recommend using Shift keyboard shortcuts as both the search box and result list will want these keys.



Change your keyboard shortcut "Use shortcut in":

Tools -> Options -> Keyboard -> Select your command -> Select your key -> Edit... -> Set "Use shortcut in" to: Result list.



I will consider always allowing Shift keys through to the search box.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I can only imagine the potential default use of shift+typable characters is 'navigate as type'.

Could you mention any other situation for reference?

You might want to do a case-sensitive search where you do want to find filenames containing 'Cats' withoiut showing filenames containing 'cats' (search for 'case:Cats')

You mean while typing in an edit box? A dedicated input area? That is right the reason this suggestion was raised, to ignore while really in input mode, search bar or renaming files.

Then I don't understand what you mean with 'navigate as type'.

Sorry I over summarized my language. Or I just used a wrong word.

It is, in a file list of file 11.jpg 12.jpg and 13.jpg, hold key 1 will cycle select 3 files. So I guess if hold shift+1 will do that too in an inversed order to move the highlighted selector. Or select a file named "!abc.jpg" if there is one.

There is an official name for this in Everything I think, Type-to-search, or search as type, can't find it.

Everything calls it "jump to" internally.


There's also "quickfind" which can be activated by pressing /



"jump to" ignores case, so using Shift here is not really useful..
"quickfind" can match case. (if enabled)
