Re: Instead of commands in the search bar, provide interface controls (button, drop-down list, input field, check box)
Thank you! Another idea is to let the user search for a particular hotkey in this window itself. Imagine this scenario: 1. User clicks in an input field, and presses a hotkey (e.g. CTRL+SHFT+SpaceBar). 2. The field shows all functions that are bound to this hotkey. This will make it easy to find any...

Instead of commands in the search bar, provide interface controls (button, drop-down list, input field, check box)
It is hard for an average user to know (or remember) various configuration-related commands like About:keys . Instead, such commands should be converted into interface control (button, drop-down list, input field, check box, etc.) For example, instead of the about:keys command, a button should be pr...

Re: Non-English language interferes with launching of Everything (?)
Yes, ESC was bound to File|Exit.
File|Close was already bound to another hotkey: CTRL+SHFT+W.
I added ESC to that, and now everything works fine.

Re: Non-English language interferes with launching of Everything (?)
So, when the hotkey is working, the Task Manager shows 3/4 lines of Everything processes.
They may be running in the foreground or background.
But when the hotkey fails, there are only two lines, both running in the background.

So I wanted to search for it before reporting it. But when I search for "Error 000000002", I get a huge number of matches for "error" (just a single word).
Can't we search for a phrase?

Well, the Alpha version should have a tweaked code to check for the latest alpha version, not the stable version!
After all, we are having this alpha run for a very long time, and there have been many many updates.
So now we need this update check within alpha versions.
