Hi,
I have a common scenario which is quite annoying.
I would have some files selected for copying, and then I would start typing using the quick search (with ctrl+s turned on).
After I've found a file and mark it, click escape, but now all my previous selection is lost. (Restore selection does not work).
The only solution for that is disabling ctrl-s *prior* to starting a selection.
My suggestion is to keep the current selection while searching using ctrl+s. (or can anyone suggest a workaround?)
Thanks
Quick search should not clear current selection when ctrl+s is on

This would indeed be useful, I have missed it too many times. However, it would also be very dangerous: The user expects from older versions that the old selection is lost. When it suddenly isn't lost any more, they would delete the wrong files by mistake.

Could this be added as an optional ini setting where the default is the old behavior?
