[Nod5]

AutoHotkey script to make Tab button toggle folders search on/off in FARR by adding/removing +\ to the searchbox.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

10. Tab::
11. ControlGetText, farr, TEdit1, ahk_exe FindAndRunRobot.exe
12. farr := InStr(farr, "+\") ? StrReplace(farr, "+\", "") : farr " +\"
13. ControlSetText, Tedit1, % farr, ahk_exe FindAndRunRobot.exe
14. return
15. #IfWinActive

Background
FARR's default Tab shortcut autocompletes the selected results full path into the search box.

I never have use for that but often want to temporarily limit searches to folders only and pressing Tab (with this script running) is quicker than typing or removing +\ in the searchbox.

Very nice! I didn't know it would be possible to intercept and modify the text in an input box in that fashion.  Very neat.
