Some minor details

[NotNull]

... that are too small to deserve an entire topic


1. When opening a file list (File => Open File List), one can choose between Open and Open as read-only
The list is considered static by Everything. Why both?
(I know, it has been this way for ages; just "cleaning up".


2. On the Formulas "page", syntax is written as:

FORMULA(parameter,[option])

Should technically be:

FORMULA(parameter[,option])

(notice the location of the comma)

But I like the current way better.



3. Menu => History => Home does not show its associated keyboard shortcut.


4. A couple of menu items don't show a description in the statusbar when hovered.
(I wish more applications would do that; very helpful!)
- Couple of entries in the Tools > Debug submenu
- Clear temp result omissions

Thank you for the minor detail report.

1. When opening a file list (File => Open File List), one can choose between Open and Open as read-only

I will remove the open as read-only option for the next alpha update.

2. On the Formulas "page", syntax is written as:
FORMULA(parameter,[option])

I use (parameter,[optional-parameter]) for readability.

3. Menu => History => Home does not show its associated keyboard shortcut.

There's a reason for this.
The menu uses the UI_ID_HISTORY_HOME_ALLOW_MOD command while the keyboard shortcut uses the UI_ID_HISTORY_HOME command.
The ALLOW_MOD variant allows Ctrl for new tab and Shift for new window.
I will make Everything use the keyboard shortcut from UI_ID_HISTORY_HOME with the UI_ID_HISTORY_HOME_ALLOW_MOD menu item.

I need to do the same with Open File List and a few other menu items.
I've noticed I've broken Open File List in the last alpha due to this issue.. Ctrl + O will always open in a new tab..
So thanks for bringing this to my attention.

4. A couple of menu items don't show a description in the statusbar when hovered.

Initially, I wasn't going to keep the debug submenu.
It will likely stay, so I will add status bar help..

Not sure how I missed the clear temp result omissions help.
I will add this.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Everything 1.5.0.1373a fixes an issue with Ctrl + O (open file list) always opening in a new tab.

Ctrl + clicking a menu item will now open searches in a new tab.
Shift + clicking a menu item will now open searches in a new window.

Ctrl + clicking the open button will now open searches in a new tab.
Shift + clicking the open button will now open searches in a new window.



Added status bar help for all commands.

Ctrl + clicking the open button will now open searches in a new tab.
Shift + clicking the open button will now open searches in a new window.

Love the consistency here!

Open without keyboard modifier still opens in a new tab. Guess that is the expected behaviour? (fwiw: it is my preferred solution)

I forgot to mention here, you can override the default behavior.

To set the default action when opening a search:

• 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:
  open search
• Select: open_search_action
• Set the value to: Existing window, New tab or New window
  (the default is: Existing window)
• Click OK.

To set the default action when opening a search with Ctrl:

• 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:
  open search
• Select: ctrl_open_search_action
• Set the value to: Existing window, New tab or New window
  (the default is: New tab)
• Click OK.

To set the default action when opening a search with Shift:

• 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:
  open search

• Set the value to: Existing window, New tab or New window
  (the default is: New window)

Was open_search_action set to new tab?

Was open_search_action set to new tab?

It was. Did not know this setting would work on filelists too.
Even more consistency
