Hotkey for New Window

Post by fdncred »

I used to be able to use Ctrl-Shift-F to start a New Search Windows when Everything was running in my tray. With version 1.3.4.686 (x64) I cannot. I have remapped my hotkey in the Options->Keyboard->File|New Search Window to Ctrl-Shift-F, exited, and restarted but I can't get it to work. I saw another thread that said make sure I was using "Store settings in %APPDATA%\Everything" but that didn't help either.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Darren

To set a hotkey to create a new, show or toggle the Everything search window:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Keyboard tab.
  • Up the top of the keyboard options page you have three Hotkey options:
    • New window Hotkey - this always shows a new search window
    • Show window Hotkey - only shows a single search window
    • Toggle window Hotkey - shows or hides the search window
  • Press Ctrl+Shift+F in your preferred choice.
  • Remove the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F from File|New Search Window.

Wow. That's intuitive and not intuitive at the same time...hehe. I didn't understand how that panel worked. Now I do and it works great. Thanks for the tip!
