drag and drop suggestion
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2022 4:57 am
A suggestion related to the search_edit_drag_accept_files setting in Everything.ini:
As a way of extending the search_edit_drag_accept_files option (allowing files to be dropped to the search bar), it would be nice if this operation could also be done with paths (i.e. folders) from the Path column. As a suggestion, the Shift modifier key could be used as an easy way to toggle the selection mode from using files to using folders from the Path column.
In addition, Everything currently allows dropped files from the Name column to be appended/added to the search bar when the Ctrl modifier key is pressed. This same 'append' ability could also be extended to this Path drop suggestion by using the Ctrl-Shift modifier keys.
