How to show the find bar?

Post by Biff »

I acciedently opened the "find bar" by pressing CTRL+F in another instance. But I cannot find it anywhere in that or another instance (e.g. in the Kewboard tab or else). How could I show it (without shortcut) and how could I make a shortcut for it?

From the Edit menu, click Find....

To bind a keyboard shortcut to Find...:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Keyboard tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show commands containing, search for:
    find
  • Select Edit | Find....
  • Click Add....
  • Press a new keyboard shortcut (for example: Ctrl + F) and click OK.
  • Click OK.

Many thanks!

Ah, didn't think search / "find" would be under "Edit". But maybe more under "View".

OK, done. Somehow pretty confusing for low brain workers.

Why at all are their different shortcuts in different instances, since I copied all the settings / shortcuts to the instances from the main instance, I think?

If you imported settings from Everything 1.4, Ctrl + F will be bound to Search Edit | Focus Search Edit.

No, I didn't, I first hat the main instance of 1.5, then copied the settings (if I remember correctly).

And that is why I already had suggested adding it there: viewtopic.php?p=58280#p58280 [point #5]
