Re: [777] File selection with keyboard in search result switches to main window
Changes 772:
- Implemented: Option for search dialog to define in the section [fcSearchForm] of the file FreeCommander.find.ini: OpenLocationChangeShortcut=1 if the shortcut should be changed from Ctrl+Space to Alt+Space
Re: [777] File selection with keyboard in search result switches to main window
Thx, will check this. However, this behaviour also happens when I don't press Ctrl, and I think this shouldn't be the case regardless of that setting.
Re: [777] File selection with keyboard in search result switches to main window
Space and Ctrl+Space are reserved in the search dialog for "Open location" and "Open location in inactive panel" - check the menu in the search dialog.
Re: [777] File selection with keyboard in search result switches to main window
I can see those two entries in the menu "File", but there is no indicator that they are activated by pressing Space (if you mean this?).

CTRL-Click selects a file or additional files, Shift-Click selects a range.
There is no benefit doing that with keyboard only, even fore mouse haters.

Set the focus in the result list first.I can see those two entries in the menu "File", but there is no indicator that they are activated by pressing Space (if you mean this?).

Thx, Karol!
@Horst: As you can see from my first post, this topic is about a problem with using the keyboard and not the mouse. You shouldn't try to force your way of working onto others!
