Often, I find a lot of files, find does not show the results together, the files are still in the original position, only the keywords are highlighted. Usually I need a scroll bar to find other files. If I need to search and compare these results in the browser, FAYT close timeout is set for a long time, but after online search, I need to find again and again.
If FAYT close timeout supports setting 0 seconds, that is, after find, the result state remains unchanged until it is closed or mouse clicked, there will be no problem with time.
Yes, it does. But very strange, I need to press ESC twice. For the first time, the first letter of the keyword is left; the second time, the keyword is completely deleted. I don't know if this is a normal operation?
I rarely use keyboard shortcuts before, almost with the mouse.
Double-click on the result of find or search to open the file, the find and search input boxes will disappear immediately, but the filter bar will not. But this is also its advantage, if I need this result many times. I don't do anything. When I reopen Opus, the filter bar will also disappear.
The pattern field gets wider if you type or paste a lot into it. That is meant to happen. The checkbox is still fully displayed, it just moves to the right if the thing on the left of it grows. Nothing is going wrong there.
If the filter bar has focus, pushing Esc once returns keyboard focus to the file display.
If you push Esc when the file display has focus, and a filter is set, the filter is cleared.
By default, the filter bar appears when a filter is set and disappears when no filter is set. So pushing Esc twice when in the filter bar is one way to close the filter bar, yes, as a consequence of what those actions do.
You can change when the filter bar is displayed under Preferences / File Displays / FAYT and Filter Bar Options.
I have a new discovery just now, whether to set the filter bar as the default, the response to ESC is different.
If I enter * to activate the filter bar, the ESC only needs to be pressed once and the filter bar exits; if the filter bar is set to default, the ESC needs to be pressed twice.
That's actually done on purpose. It's mainly for when the window is very narrow:
Parts of the filter bar will move away or be hidden to make room for the main filter control if needed.
The "Show Everything" checkbox to the right of the control isn't that important, especially if you are filtering with a pattern. You'd never use a pattern and Show Everything at the same time, because Show Everything disables the pattern.
The checkbox is only there at all so that if you open the filter bar while in Show Everything mode it is easy too see why the rest of the bar is all disabled, as well as to provide another way to discover the Show Everything function. Making it use up space which could be used by the main filter wouldn't make sense.
I generally don't use the checkbox. If I want Show Everything, I will delete the keyword. However, since the checkbox exists, I just want to keep the filter bar format stable, because the pattern field gets wider and still cannot display the full file name.
