Jump between highlighted items in type ahead find

Post by John_C »

I have some folder with these files in it:

Code: Select all

aaa foo.txt
bbb foo.txt
aaa.txt
bbb.txt
Also, I have this in my settings:

Code: Select all

Configuration --> Filters & Type Ahead Find --> Enable Type Ahead Find (yes) + Match anywhere
And then, I start to type "foo".

"aaa foo.txt" and "bbb foo.txt" are now both highlighted. AND now I want to switch between them with some key or shortcut, for example with Tab key.

I press Tab - and it will be selected "bbb foo.txt". I press Tab second time - and it will be selected "aaa foo.txt".

Is there an option for described behaviour?

Cheers, John.

Yes you can do it from the address bar, e.g type >foo in the XY address bar and then press Enter to go to the next match.

You can paste the following into the XY address bar for more information if you are interested:

Code: Select all

::help "idh_listview.htm#idh_spot";

Under Tools | Customize Keyboard Shortcuts... you can find these two commands:

Miscellaneous / Focus Functions / Next Type Ahead Match
Miscellaneous / Focus Functions / Previous Type Ahead Match


You cannot define TAB as a Keyboard Shortcut though.

Thanks! I mapped it to Alt-PageDown and Alt-PageUp. Looks very convenient for me.
