TC 8.00x32 Delete with active search dialog not working

Post by *Radek_ »

Hello,
I have set Quick search - Letters with search dialog - and when I use quick search, I cannot delete selected file/folder (delete key). I must click to the selected file/folder and press key Delete.
Open file is OK (Enter key)

I don't understand. Where is the bug? When you have the quick search dialog open, you can edit the search pattern - that includes deleting some letters from it. Either stop using that dialog, or press Esc when you find what you want to close the dialog.

I thought, that Delete key has same behaviour as Enter key. Maybe not.
Sorry for topic.

No harm done. Enter is the standard key for opening/executing a selected file. F8 is the standard key for deleting it. The 'Delete' key is just for convenience.

Indeed the delete key is needed to delete single characters or selected text from quick search - just use the cursor left key and then delete to test it. The F8 key does work also when the quick search dialog is up.
