When you select an item from the list the last search string will still exist next time you call KP |
I understand that but I'm so used to using ESC for closing from using Launchy and Everything that switching to alt-F4 seems really inconvenient now. An option for this behaviour would be ideal. i think your suggestion would make more sense if I only occasionally wanted to retain the search string. |
Good point. Following a similar idea I planned a while ago, but totally forgot, to implement the Both option and shortcut will be implemented in the next version. |
Was looking for option to hide K using ESC, thanks for implementing. |
Was worried about new hard-coded Shift+Esc sequence to hide K because I use this shortcut to invoke Everything. Great to see they play nicely together, i.e. K does not hide when Everything is invoked in this manner. In short, the less hard-coded sequences, the longer life without compatibility issues. |
I wouldn't bind such too simple global shortcuts if I were you. Binding So while I agree about the "hard-coded" part (obviously), you definitely chose the wrong use-case to illustrate your theory. |
Windows hard-coded conventions (especially introduced in 7 and later editions) annoy users so much no wonder Autohotkey became popular. It seems there is nothing wrong to have any global shortcut to do anything if you agree other apps will not work as expected without remapping that shortcut (that’s why I was worried about unremappable hard-coded For years I set globally
And current shortcut for Keypirinha is `Alt+``

Like I said, whether you're willing to admit it or not, you technically have to take the conventions of the system you are working with into account. And obviously you did. As a counter-example, there is nothing wrong to hard-code the binding of Anyway, I was just pointing out that KP has nothing to do with the fact that your global binding still works on your config. You should have made a request about your Alt+` problem though. |
It's weird but for me the keyboard shortcut Shift+Esc don't seem to work. I've already tested that it's not another program like AutoHotKey that grab this shortcut and change it to something else. Shift+Esc works fine everywhere except in Keypirinha. Anybody have the same problem. I hate the Alt+F4 shortcut... it stretch my fingers to much :) |
@mystcreater do you still have this issue? Which version of KP and Windows? Are you positive you do not have an AHK script or something else catching it first? |
Not sure if this is currently possible but I wasn't able to find such a setting in the configuration file.
Current behaviour when pressing ESC:
Requested behaviour:
This request makes sense for when the setting "retain_last_search" is set to "yes".
