XYplorer Beta Club

Hi,

Windows explorer in Windows 7 has a search bar on the right of address bar. This allow you to search very quickly. Can XYplorer has the same search bar?

Not 100% sure given I don't use W7 but I do believe it does have some sort of a cache/index

3> Really need typing the "?" ?

Yes, because XY AB can do various things so XY needs to know which function you want.

XY does not have instant search like windows 7 where results appear as you type. But you can quickly jump to a filename by typing its first few letters (click on the list first before you start typing). You wont see what you are typing, but it works.

Yes, Ctrl+Alt+A (you can set it to Alt+D if you want)

Yes, because there are other prefixes for other cool things such as | for visual filter, > jump, >> spot, :: scripting etc.

I found that Shift+TAB worked out of the box for me too and it was somewhat more intuitive.

Thank you.

Yeah, I found Tab and Shift+Tab is really handy to focus on address bar
