Hi there,
I installed FARR on my new laptop. When launching FARR, in the input box the word "search" is already filled in.
Why is that? Do I miss something?
Now, before a filename or plugin-command can be entered, I first have to delete the word "search" using backspace.
What I want is an empty input box after triggering FARR.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Daan.

Thank you for the quick reply.

The answer however is: no

In the options window there is no "search" or anything filled in.
Indeed, the FARR-window on the right hand is exactly what I get.

Is there a settings-textfile that can be edited and searched for "search"?

Greetings, Daan.

@daanvink: what is the hotkey combination you use to launch Farr? some combinations will have certain text prefixed to it.

@lanux128:

I use HP-laptop ProBook 6550b and type two keys: fn + break (break sits on the same key as pg dn therefore the fn)
FARRs was freshly installed, no modifications of shortcut-keys, all default.

Are there any other hotkey combinations to launch FARR?

@lanux128: You were right, the proper keystrokes are: fn + pause. This starts a 'clean' FARR-window.
Problem solved.
Thanks.

@mouser (?): Do I have to close this discussion? How?

No need to explicitly "close" a discussion.. when there is nothing more to talk about people will simply stop replying :)

However, one thing that hasn't been said yet is that you can add your own custom hotkeys to trigger FARR in different ways.

So you might want to consider setting a new hotkey in the FARR options that is more convenient for you to type on your laptop keyboard.
