Filter/search for the "Search Syntax" window

Post by ermente »

Instead of having to paste it into e.g. NP++ to easily find the syntax.

I'm looking at upgrading the Everything help windows to rich edits with some formatting in Everything 1.5.

I'll consider a "find text" option.

Thanks for the suggestion.

In the meantime: you could add a shortcut to go directly to the "Searching" help page:

[*] download Everything.chm (http://www.voidtools.com/Everything.chm.zip)

[*] put it in your Everything folder (so Everything can find it; you can use <F1> to launch it)

[*] add a shortcut (on your desktop for example) to go directly to the "Searching" page. Link it to:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\hh.exe mk:@MSITStore:C:\Tools\Everything\Everything.chm::/everything/searching.htm
(Replace C:\Tools\Everything\Everything.chm with your actual path)

[*] Optional: add a keyboard shortcut (like <Ctrl-F1> ) to this shortcut.


Now you can press <Ctrl-F1> anywhere or start the shortcut and bring up the "Searching" help page.
That page is searchable (Ctrl-F) and you can use Copy/paste.

Of course you can laso replace the current link with a link to the online version of that help (http://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/searching/)
