I'm trying to use Type Ahead Find to cycle through files that begin with 'dd'. My TAF setting is configured to 'Prefer matches at beginning (but only for single characters)'.

When I type the letter 'd' twice in quick succession this gets picked up by TAF as 'd*', and so it finds everything starting with d.

I can understand that if I was leaving some time between each press of the d key that it should be finding everything starting with d. But if I am inside whatever time limit TAF is using, and I am typing 'dd' then why isn't it only finding files that start with dd ?

Not a bug but mimicking standard Windows Explorer behavior.

You can turn it off via this tweak:

Code: Select all

v12.70.0002 - 2013-07-25 13:12
    + Type Ahead Find: Added tweak to turn off the Windows standard 
      behavior that a quickly repeated first character will cycle 
      through matching items:
        TAFNoRepeatCharCycle=1
      Now a quickly repeated first character will simply add up to a 
      multi-character pattern just as if you typed two different 
      characters.

Thank you, that works.
