Code: Select all

   - If the list is dropped then the first <enter> will close the
        list, the next <enter> will go to the location. Allows you to
        further edit the item by keyboard before shooting.
Should the left click of the mouse be the same as enter from the keyboard, at the moment left click and it shoots!

Added this too


The ab use of sorting uses settings in the find files (only used include sub folders so far) so would it be better if when ? is enetered on the ab that it opens the window with find files to include extra attributes?

1. yes, I think so.

Actually I would like to hear opinions on the shoot now or later question while the list dropped
(a) on enter
(b) on mouse click

2. no, I don't think so.

Re 1:

shoot now or later - I prefer shoot now as you are activating a goto op

re 2:

Whilst I can see your point about not having the window open, there is a problem I feel which is confusing for new users. When entering a search in ab it is not at all obvious that the subfolder option is available yet this is a very important need.

Now that you have program code control of ab is there some way to make it obvious for this option to be shown as soon as ? following a \ is typed plus of course the speed to activate the option directly?
