The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

focus not return after search

Post by *Hurdet »

After a search with CTRL-F the focus not return to listener and I have to switch manually to it.
Similar in find files after use a listener action in it.

Not confirmed for pure Lister viewing a file.
The focus comes back to the Lister windows after closing the find dialog.
The rest of your post is not understandable for me.

I experience a lot of focus problems too, especially with the 64-bit version of TC. See also Focus not on TC after closing internal viewer due to bug in Windows.

This works fine here.
The focus always comes back to the search results,
and I can continue in the list using up and down keys.

I cannot reproduce that on Windows 11. Maybe some third party program stealing the focus?
What happens when you press Alt+F4 when the focus is gone?

Since Windows is handling focus changes and not Total Commander, there is nothing I can do myself.
