Focus search on un-hide

[enduser]

The option "Focus search on activate" under General | Search when unchecked works for when the window is un-minimized but not for when the window is un-hided (hide_on_close=1) i.e. it still focuses the search bar, so pressing the down arrow after un-hiding the window takes me to the top instead of below the previous selection.

Thank you for the issue report enduser,

This is currently by design.

The unhidden window is still 'activated', so the search bar is focused.

I will consider an option to prevent focusing the search bar after unhiding a window.

Minimize on close in Everything 1.5 might give better experience:

• In Everything 1.5, copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /minimize_on_close=1
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• If successful, minimize_on_close=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
  (the default is /minimize_on_close=0 )

Now when you close an Everything window it minimize to the taskbar.
How are you showing a new Everything window? -depending on how you open an Everything window, the search box may still be focused.



Please consider the -focus-results command line option in Everything 1.5:

Launch Everything with -focus-results command line option.

For example:
Everything.exe -focus-results

This might not be desirable if you wanted to keep the focus on the search box.

I toggle the existing window with double_ctrl (viewtopic.php?p=45175#p45175)
/double_ctrl_action=3

close/hide it to the tray (viewtopic.php?p=45567#p45567)
/hide_on_close=1

/minimize_on_close=1 doesn't work with /double_ctrl_action=3, it won't bring up the window right after minimizing/closing it (probably because the window is still active/selected)

I think I've found a solution (I should've found it way earlier tbh)
/focus_search_on_show_window=0
(the default is /focus_search_on_show_window=1)

only problem is that the text seletction/cursor is reset to the end after unhiding (but thats not a big deal)

/focus_search_on_show_window=0 doesn't toggle/bring up the window to the front with /double_ctrl_action=3 if the window is not selected/active (works fine if it is minimized/closed to the tray), /focus_search_on_show_window=1 works in all 3 situations (selected, not selected, minimized/closed to the tray)
