Some hotkey combinations lose first search character
« on: June 16, 2009, 06:35 AM »
In my laptop I set the hotkey to launch FARR as Ctrl + Alt + Enter, it's convenient because Ctrl+Alt is only one key (AltGr) and Enter is just above it.

Now, every time I hit AltGr+Enter and start typing the name of the application I want to launch, I find out that the first letter -sometimes the second one too- of what I'm typing is missing.

Let's say I want to launch "notepad"

I press AltGr+Enter and start typing "notepad", but in the FARR window I only get "otepad"

Before I thought it had something to do with FARR performance, but I noticed that changing to another hotkey combination involving only one modifier (i.e. Ctrl + Enter) solves the problem.

Is anybody experimenting the same?

cheers,
 alessandro

SOLVED.

It doesn't depend on the hotkey combination. It was because of the "Copy selected text" option.
