I will consider an optional paste and search button next to the search bar.

Thank you for your suggestion.

By default, if you paste (into Everything), it searches, no?
Or are you just saying to have a "Paste Button" as an alternative to the keyboard shortcut (or context-menu, Paste)?


(You can search highlighted text within a web browser with a bookmarklet.
Maybe you can use an autohotkey thingy to search anything highlighted or copied into the clipboard ?
So if you're in a word doc & highlighted something... hotkey, search!)

i like this idea, in fact i've been seriously thinking about suggesting a new feature for Everything that goes in the same vein :idea: :idea: :idea:

See, i've been using Everything everyday for a few weeks while i'm trying to sort and organise my stuff, i mean a huge boatload of files (or is it buttload? lol) , that i've been collecting for the last 20-25 years or more, and i do like using the keyboard shortcuts just fine especially since i started back in the MS-DOS era, but lately i've been wanting an easier time to work with well... everything, and Everything, especially on my tablet.

So i wanted for a good long while to suggest: :idea: Could we add a toolbar :?:

Like Explorer's ribbon with the back and forward buttons, refresh, re-scan drive, and other often used functions. I know we can already choose to step back or forward in the history function with ALT+ :arrow: , but this doesn't work well on tablets.

Plus it would look so great with a nice set of icons on a toolbar or ribbon. Like, rename, delete, open folder, properties, mediainfo on video files, preview button for pix, etc

And not so much usage of the right-click context menu, because on a tablet that can be frustrating when you have to wait those few seconds for the context menu... like a thousand times an hour :!: everyday, for weeks. (ok maybe i can just go to my laptop)

But, I'd love to just click a toolbar button instead. and do Everything on my tablet (hehe see what i did there?)

And It would be great for both mouse-users and super great for tablet users. A ribbon would really come in handy for those with big sausage fingers (not me i have normal size hands :lol: ).

Maybe even a Favorites menu, so we can search for often used words or phrases.

That really opens a lot of possibilities for fun interactions with Everything :!: 8-) 8-) 8-)

Thanks for making it this far in my novel, :lol: , I swear i only wanted to suggest the ribbon idea.

Stay safe and we'll get through this Pandemic 2020.
