feature request, wishlist for Bookmarks sidebar

Post by Xavierarmand »

I was a first going to ask for tooltip when hovering on over a bookmark then I noticed the custom search strings show up in the status bar! that's great!

so my wishlist would be...

#1 show macro and or hotkey before the search search string
e.g.. ahk: | [hotkey if any] >> [search string]

and #2 when double clicking a bookmark item from the side panel have it open into edit mode for that bookmark automatically.

:D

just made this little snippet in ahk v1 that's working nicely for opening the edit window from the bookmark panel.

Code: Select all

$DoubleClickTime := DllCall("GetDoubleClickTime") ;	Read Doubleclick speed (system setting)

#IfWinActive ahk_exe everything64.exe

~Lbutton:: ;; if EV, edit bookmark
{
	MouseGetPos,,,, CurrentControl
	if (A_PriorHotkey = A_ThisHotkey and A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < $DoubleClickTime and CurrentControl = "SysTreeView322") ;; will this control change if other side panels change?, I have not tested this, my EV layout has been the same for years.
	{ ; double click time def in global settings
		Sleep 90
		; ControlFocus, SysTreeView322, ahk_exe Everything64.exe
		click ;; send a mouse click, need to bring focus back to bookmarks panel, it moves to edit1 on the first click
		sleep 20
		sendinput, {RButton}
		sleep 20
		Sendinput, {e}
	}
	else {
		Sendinput, {%A_ThisHotkey%}
	}
}
return

#IfWinActive

Quick tip: You can also right-click a Bookmark in the Bookmark sidebar and select Edit from its context menu.
Same for Filters.

(right-clicking a Filter or Bookmark in the main menu is another option)
