Is there a short cut or hot key to move focus to the file list

Help & Support

Title says it all.

If not, what is a reliable way to get from Quick Search bar to file list. I want to create some AutoHotKeys for repetitive searches.

Set FOCUS=FileDisplay will do that, but if it's just to get out of the search field, you can use Esc.

You probably don't need AHK for this, either. You can make hotkeys in Opus which run searches via the Find command, which will be much more reliable than having AHK send keystrokes to Opus.

Thanks for Esc. Quick pointer to doc re creating such hotkeys, please and thanks.

Any ideas why this code works as a toggle when a button is clicked. The same code does not work as a toggle using an assigned hotkey in that same button. It opens to filter bar but does not close it.

@if:$glob:quickfilter
@set glob:quickfilter
Set FOCUS=FileDisplay
@if:else
Set QUICKFILTER
@set glob:quickfilter=on

TIA

PS Topic seems related to this post to me. Apologies if it is deemed otherwise.

Lister hotkeys don't work when the filter edit control is active, since it'd break the edit control's standard hotkeys.

E.g. Ctrl-A or Ctrl-C should select-all or copy the text you're editing, not select or copy everything in the file display.

Even typing a * wouldn't be possible either as it's a lister hotkey to open the filter bar. :slight_smile:
