[Solved] / vs Ctrl+F

Post by w64bit »

If i press / in search list the new search box is named "Quick find".
If I press Ctrl+F (Edit > Find) the name is "Find in results".
This means that are different functions?

Also, how can I remove / hotkey?

Quick find and Find in results function the same way.

The difference:

Quick find
Focus stays in the result list.
Typing in the result list goes to the quick find.

Find in results
Find bar is focused.
Typing in the result list does a jump to. (not a find in results)


To remove the / quick find keyboard shortcut:
  • 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:
    jump
  • Select: jump_to_forward_slash_action
  • Set the value to: None
  • Click OK.

Is it possible to also close (toggle) Find bar with the same hotkey used for open it: Ctrl+F (Global)?
