Alt+F7: Sorting previous search results
Posted: 2013-12-24, 02:18 UTC
I've got a suggestion of a simple, but useful improvement.
I often search for some string in many files with Alt+F7. Search results are sorted as in the current panel - by date, by name, by extension etc. When I realize, that results are sorted by date, but it would be useful to me in this case to have them sorted by name, I must perform the search again.
So I'd like to ask for this: when opening Alt+F7 dialog, during displaying the previous search results, let TC to sort results in the same order as in the current panel at the moment of reopening the dialog. So I could close the search window, change panel sorting, open search window again and have the results sorted in the desired way.
I'm aware that I can feed results to listbox and sort them, but then I've got only one panel to work. I could also open a new tab, but then I have to navigate to the directory, where I was before searching.
Regards
ADDED: You may also consider enabling Ctrl+F3 .. Ctrl+F7 hotkeys in the search window.
