FARR by default fills in "search" in the inputbar. How to get rid of this?

[daanvink]

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.

Does the following help at all?

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?

[daanvink]

@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.
