A tip - if you want to use digits in searches..

(1/3) > >>

mouser:
The default setting of F&R is that you type a digit key to launch the app corresponding to the # of the item to run.
This can cause issues if you want to search for things with numbers in them.

You can specify digits in your search by typing a \ before them.

i.e. type "notebook\2" to search for "notebook2"

this is fine if you rarely use digits, but recently i've found myself needing to type digits in my searches more, so i thought i'd just go over some options.

the first thing is to tell F&R *not* to launch items when you hit the digit keys, it's the first option on config page 1.

now you have some choices:


you can use function keys F1-F9.

you can use ctrl+# or alt+# (see configuration pages to customize what these do, whether its normal launch or other options).

you can hit Tab and then then digit key once you are in the results window (this actually might be a good habbit to get into).

you can hit Enter and then the digit key (see options for other possibilities on pressing enter).

you can of course double click.

if anyone has any other ideas for clever ways to add to launch items let me know and may be i can add it.

mouser:
1.07.07 uploaded - it was ignoring alt and control modifiers if the "launch with digit keys" was unchecked.

ps.
i have now switched off my launch with digits setting, and configured alt+# to do my launching, and ctrl+# to do launch and stay open.
i'd be interested to hear what others have configured, and waht people thing should be the default setting.

Good grief this is being a constructive week ...

all these downloads are going to eat up my bandwidth allowance - I only have 30Gb a month ....  ;)

mouser:
yeah, maybe i should hold off on uploading so frequently.
my best advice to people is if you see me uploading a beta and you aren't the kind that likes to install new beta every couple days, just ignore these betas until i stabilize ;)

Carol Haynes:
What and spoil the fun ....  :trout:
