Small feature requests

[nullal]

- Once I have my selection list I have to press the right mouse button to get to the menu (screenshot). Instead I'd like a user defined hotkey (Alt-Enter maybe). Saves me one mouse touch... Currently I am configuring a lot and I trip over this issue every single time.
- fc Calculator is cool. But the numeric keypad does not work. This more or less renders fc useless - for me.
- In the options/Aliases I like to have the result/command as a browse column.

That's all so far

you can press Control+R to get the menu if you don't want to reach for the mouse..

as for the numeric keypad entry, go to Options > Program Options > Settings > Keyboard Interface
and uncheck the following:
Numpad keys launch results from search window

can you elaborate?

you can press Control+R to get the menu if you don't want to reach for the mouse..

or you can just press the i-don't-know-what-it-is-called-key right next to the alt button. This key does a right-click on the currently active item in windows.

well the voldemort key does not work in Farr - thank god. farr seems to be a bit more advanced:)

using the numeric keypad in fc and having it available for choosing results would be the ideal solution. but since i since I have every command assigned to a 3 letter abbreviation and do not use any of the searching and scoring I do not need the result list. the solution lanux suggested works fine.

maybe i am too tired and don't get it. can you elaborate?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I figured it was better than starting a new one with the same complaint.

Not being able to use the numeric keypad to launch apps and enter numerals in the calculators (both fc and gcal) is a real nusance.

I'd like to see the issue added to the bugs list / features request, whichever is deemed more appropriate.

Mouser: Is there any good way to fix this conflict?

Thanks,

Ampa

numpad issue fixed in latest release.

OT (and much later in time...), I guess, but here's my take -- "Voldemort" is a reference to a character from a popular book series [1], and an alias for that character is "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" (see: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Voldemort ).  Earlier in the thread, I see the uttering:

  or you can just press the i-don't-know-what-it-is-called-key right next to the alt button.

But where I'm confused (back on topic) is about the claim that the key in question doesn't work in FARR...if it's the one I think it is, it works for me...


[1] Not mentioning the series name is my attempt at recursive humor here

Yeah, I get the reference to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, but I am also puzzled by the claim that FARR is too advanced for the voldermort key (actually it is called Menu key or Application key according to this, and you can even emulate it with Shift+F10)? I mean, it works. And if anything - FARR would be pretty backward if it didn't support the voldemort key since it was introduced about the time Windows 95 came out. But again, I fail to see what FARR has got to do with it because the OS handles the keyboard.
