Is there a way to auto-select the first file in the lister but only after completing a search

(I'm using everything search integration, it's working well, and would be cool to be able to hit F3 to search, type a folder name and hit enter twice to open that file/folder. This would mimick what everything search itself does once you hit enter.)

Should be possible with the OnAfterFolderChange [Directory Opus Manual] script event. If the script sees that the new folder is a search, it can run Select FIRST.

We can help with writing the script if you need it.

OnAfterFolderChange only fires for the first processed search. For example, i type "wat", then rest 1 second, then type "ch". OnAfterFolderChange fires after typing "wat", but not after typing "ch", and the first item is de-selected at the end of the typing.

Since there is no script event after a search is processed, nor after FAYT value changes, is it possible to make the index of selected item persist through consecutive searches?

edit: im using dopus built-in search, not everything

Hitting EnterSpaceEnter works for Opus.
