1406: Focus lost on Filter change


Filter: Everything
Search: red blue
TAB <focus is now in results list>
Filter: Picture

- result: focus jumps to Searchbar

Expected: focus remains in results list
(& again, i believe this is a behavior change from earlier Everything)

[void]

1406 trials an advanced focus_search_on_search_parameter_change setting.

Everything will focus the search box when a search parameter is changed (eg: match case, match path, match whole words, regex, a filter, etc..).

Selecting all the text in the search box when the search box already has focus is too jarring.
This has already been fixed for the next alpha update.

I can understand the frustration with focus stealing.
I will make this option disabled by default in the next alpha update.

For now, to disable focus_search_on_search_parameter_change:

• 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:
  focus
• Select: focus_search_on_search_parameter_change
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

The main reason it was added is when you change a filter or a search option, generally, the result list item focus is lost as the results have changed dramatically.

focus_search_on_search_parameter_change=false

Much better .
