[HELP] Everything is auto-copying file path to clipboard!

Post by prtab »

For some reason, Everything has been copying full file paths to my clipboard automatically whenever I use the keyboard Up and Down keys to navigate through my search results. I've checked my keyboard shortcut for Copy File Path, and it only has 1 shortcut.

I ignored this behavior for the longest time but it has now become a major annoyance as I cannot copy/cut files if I want to use keyboard navigation at the same time. I can safely use mouse navigation, and file paths are not auto-copied.

Can anyone please help me figure out how to get rid of this behavior?

I think this is caused by Quicklook. Do you have this installed?

Quicklook sends WM_COPY whenever you change the selection in Everything.
Not sure if Quicklook has an option to disable this?

You're right, I do have Quicklook installed! I'll check but I doubt Quicklook has an option to disable that. Will the only work-around then be getting rid of Quicklook? Cannot live without Everything!
