    + Edit | Quick Search: Two toggle buttons have been added to the mini toolbar: Match 
      Case and Whole Words. They serve as a user-friendly alternative to the /c and /w 
      switches.
      Notes:
      - If a switch is present it will override an unpressed button, and a pressed button 
        will override an absent switch.
      - The current pressed state of these buttons also affects the results of
        - tab switches back to a Quick Search tab (unless the search results are cached)
        - Edit | Repeat Last Quick Search
        - Edit | Toggle Quick Search
        - direct Quick Search through the address bar: [path]?pattern
      - However, the current state of these buttons does NOT affect the results of SC 
        quicksearch, ensuring that scripted searches are independent of these GUI settings.

v26.80.0402 - 2025-02-05 12:13
    + Edit | Quick Search: Added another toggle button to the mini toolbar: Non-Recursive 
      (meaning: do not include subfolders in the search). Serves as a user-friendly 
      alternative to the /n switch.
      FYI, this raises tweak FindNameSearchNoRecurse (v20.50.0109 - 2019-11-02) to the UI.
    + Quick Search Information Bar: When the Match Case, Whole Word, or Non-Recursive buttons 
      are pressed, it is indicated by appending [c], [w], or [n] to the search pattern 
      display.
      Cached Quick Searches remember their button states individually.
    ! Tweak SetFocusTo: Tab > List (bit 16) only worked for mouse selected tabs. Fixed.

    ! Toolbars: Borders of pressed buttons had a color tint in dark mode even if 
      "Configuration | Colors and Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Dark mode | Color tint 
      (0 is neutral)" was set to 0. Fixed.
    ! Opening Overlong Items: A LongPathAware Windows 10 or 11 had problems with opening 
      overlong items by double-click or ENTER, ironically. Fix attempt. Might be a 
      regression for some systems though. The whole business is darker than black, thank 
      you, Microsoft.
    ! SC folderreport: Since 20250130 you could easily get a "Type mismatch" error when 
      using this function. Fixed.

    + SC chr: Now supports extended Unicode characters (beyond 16 bit), aka surrogate pairs.
      Example:
        echo chr(0x1D57F); //𝕿 = Mathematical Bold Fraktur Capital T, Unicode Number U+1D57F (120191)
    ! Breadcrumb Bars: When changing from a Virtual Folder (vi:...) to This PC, the down 
      path was set to the Virtual Folder, which led to nonsense and even error 9 crashes. 
      Down paths must be normal file system paths. Fixed.

v26.80.0408 - 2025-02-08 13:10
    ! SC asc: Had some bugs and limitations that strangely went undetected for many years.
      - Definition in Help: "Returns the ASCII value of a character."
        Since the function always supported 2-byte Unicode characters, the definition 
        should rather be: "Returns the Unicode codepoint of a character."
        The name "asc" is retained for backward compatibility.
      - A large range of characters returned negative numbers, although the return is 
        defined as "ASCII value, range 0-65535 (0xFFFF)".
        For example:
          echo asc("龍"); //-24691  -> should be 40845
        This is fixed now.
        BTW, the complementary function chr() surprisingly tolerates the signed version of 
        the codepoint:
          echo chr(40845);  //龍
          echo chr(-24691); //龍
      - The function now also supports 4-byte Unicode characters, aka surrogate pairs.
        The return is now defined as "codepoint, range 0-1114111 (0x10FFFF)".
          echo asc("𝕿"); //120191
    + SC asc: Added a parameter to format the return value.
      Syntax: asc(string, [format])
        format:
          missing:  Return decimal value.
          H:        Return raw hex value.
          X:        Return prefixed hex value (eg 0x9F8D).
          U:        Return Unicode Number (eg U+9F8D).
          B:        Return hex values of bytes (Little Endian) instead of codepoint.
                    Makes a difference only with surrogate pairs.
          A:        Enforce ANSI code page.
      Examples:
        echo asc("𝕿");    //120191
        echo asc("𝕿", H); //1D57F
        echo asc("𝕿", U); //U+1D57F
        echo asc("𝕿", B); //DD7FD835
        echo asc("€");    //8364
        echo asc("€", X); //0x20AC
        echo asc("€", A); //128 (might differ depending on locale)
        // chr() and asc() complement each other:
        echo chr(asc("龍")); //龍
        echo chr(eval("0x".asc("龍", H)));  //龍
        echo chr(asc("𝕿")); //𝕿
        echo chr(eval("0x".asc("𝕿", H)));  //𝕿
        echo asc(chr(40845)); //40845
        echo asc(chr(0x9F8D), X); //0x9F8D
        echo asc(chr(0x1D57F), X); //0x1D57F
