New Folder : when named, may disappear off screen

[meteorquake]

You're in a folder with many subfolders and you do Ctrl-Shift-N to create a folder. You give it a name.
If the name puts it down the list off the bottom of screen view, the folder then disappears (taking on its new place) and you have to scroll down to find it.
When this happens I think the list should shift up to make it visible.
Presumably also does it if it shifts up off the screen too.
* It may simply be easiest after rename to recentre on the new folder in its new place as a matter of course, as that would also help even when it jumps to within the screen too - after all, creating a folder shifts the list to "New Folder" anyway before the name is entered.

(Never knew such a contraption existed. Anyhow...)

Hitting <space-bar> should provide focus on the newly created directory.

Everything will try to avoid scrolling your view.

Everything 1.5.0.1379a adds a treeview_keep_focus_in_view advanced setting.

To keep the focus in view:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  treeview
• Select: treeview_keep_focus_in_view
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

I do have treeview_keep_focus_in_view set to true in the options but it doesn't seem to do anything both on 1379a and 1380a

Confirmed.
At least from my understanding of what the OP wants.

The way it looks here...

Folder View
- you're at some top level folder of a long folder tree
Ctrl+Shift+N
- at that point, a newly created directory is created, default name, "New folder"
- presumably, before "accepting" that name ('New folder'), you enter something else, like 'zzz999'

zzz999 being toward the end of the alphabet, being "below" 'N' (of New folder)
the directory is then created "out of sight"
<space> brings that directory, zzz999, into focus

OP (if I'm understanding), wants that directory brought into focus, automatically

[therube]

What treeview_keep_focus_in_view looks to do, is to "return" focus back to the originating directory where the Ctrl+Shift+N was performed from*.

*This happens if that setting is set, & you were to do something like to delete that newly created directory.

So first you create the new directory
<space> to focus on it
DEL to delete it
- at that point, focus returns back to where you started the above from


If this option had not been set...

So first you create the new directory
<space> to focus on it
DEL to delete it
- at that point, focus is... somewhere, you can't specifically tell, but the viewport is unchanged
(except for the now missing, deleted directory)

<space> at that point, now focuses back to where you started the above from

Thank you for testing 1379a meteorquake,

Everything 1.5.0.1381a improves treeview_keep_focus_in_view.

The focus is now correctly brought into view when the 'action focus' was in view.

Pressing ENTER will now bring the focus into view.
Rename -> ENTER -> ENTER will now commit the rename, select the folder and bring the folder into view.
