Invoking and focus upon invoking #53

Version 2.6.

I'm editing text in a Notepad++ tab, and now I want to run NavigateTo's functionality. If I press the shortcut keycombo, the NavigateTo window that I had open from the last time closes, when what it should do is stay open and take input focus here:

Worse, when the NavigateTo window closes, input focus is left in some strange and unknown place, because a second press of the keycombo does nothing.

I don't consider this to be a huge issue (since you can just hit Ctrl+comma (or whatever your keycombo is) twice in quick succession, but I see why you find it irritating.
I'm inclined to make it so hitting Escape while in the form minimizes the form, and maybe the shortcut keycombo doesn't minimize, just focuses the editor. Do you think that would help meet your needs?

Worse, when the NavigateTo window closes, input focus is left in some strange and unknown place, because a second press of the keycombo does nothing.

Unfortunately I can't replicate that, but that is definitely a more serious problem.

Problems that this commit should solve:
1. Hiding or showing the form changing input focus in an unclear way
    (issue young-developer#53)
2. Nothing showing when the form is first loaded (issue young-developer#36)
3. When the form is reloaded, it showed out-of-date search results
    (e.g., it would show files in the top directory of a file that
    is no longer active)
    There was no associated issue for this, but it bugged me.

Hopefully this is resolved in version 2.6.4.

@alankilborn Please could you double check this issue in v. 2.6.4 ?
