Search results: Ctrl+\ should return to root

Post by *Flint »

When search results are displayed in a tab, and user presses Ctrl+\ hotkey or [ \ ] button, TC returns to the original directory where search was started. As for me, this behavior is counter-intuitive: I would expect TC to open the root directory (or, for the locked tabs, return to the base directory), like it does for this hotkey in all other cases.

For returning to the original search dir, there are F2 and Ctrl+R hotkeys, so there won't be reducing in functionality, but gaining it (as for now, there is no way to go to root from search results in one hotkey).

Maybe problem is that search results has no 'drive' or 'dir' so there is no 'root' there?

In a locked tab with LockedGoToDriveRoot=0 it may be more logical to return to locked dir as usually but in normal tab or with LockedGoToDriveRoot=1 it is unclear which dir should be treated as root.

To the root of the drive that was opened before starting the search, then.
