Find Files: Advanced: add Alt+letter hotkey for some labels

Post by *DrShark »

Windows offers a possibility to activate/deactivate interface elements using Alt+Letter hotkey if interface element description contains that letter underlined.
In Find Files:
"Advanced" tab: all text-labeled elements have some letter underlined except "same name". I suggest "n" letter to be underlined here, so its hotkey will be Alt+N.
"Load/Save" tab: "Cancel" and "Help" are without underlined letters. I suggest "c" to be underlined for "Cancel". For "Help" F1 already exists so no changes required.

Since "same name" is already checked, is there a real need for a shortcut for it?

Cancel is always available as Esc so there is no need for shortcut key.

Well, currently I only can suggest you to use Alt+P, tab, Space to uncheck searching for same names when you search for dups, also you can override this localization string yourself with custom LNG file. But I agree that a shortcut won't hurt for that checkbox.

When wrote the suggestion I missed that when "Search results" part of window available, all the letters from "same name" are taken. Since Windows doesn't allow more than on item with the same letter for its "underlined letters for keyboard navigation" feature, and for one-time search "Alt+P, tab, Space" is not significantly longer than something like "Alt+P, Alt+N", I agree it's better to leave it as it is. Topic can be moved to Total Commander (English).

Well, you've mentioned important point - results dialog part that it is not always visible!
