FARR 2.10.01

[zhichao]

Updated to the latest FARR, all of suddent the Ctrl+Alt+Enter does not work.  I have used this functionality heavily to launch a group of applications.  Any suggestiosn?

it's confusing to me why this has stopped working for some people.. it's not on purpose.  it still works fine for me.  i will try to get it fixed for next release.

[zhichao]

It works fine with me in the 2.08 versions.

[mouser]

well that is doubly strange since i didn't think i changed anything since then.
does it matter what control has focus (search box or results) when you trigger it? any other clues you can figure out about if it works sometimes and not others would be appreciated.

After some debugging, the culprit is the FARR Google Calendar plugin.  In particular, it is    http://vitalyb.dcmembers.com/FARRGoogleCalendar/versioninfo.xml.
After I disabled it, everything works fine again!

Cheers!

nice find zhichao! I had given up on getting Ctrl-Alt-Enter working.

[mouser]

nice find zhichao !!! 

[lanux128]

woohoo! this has eluded me for so long.. nice job, zhichao!

[mouser]

It's still not clear *why* the Google Calendar plugin would do this, except to punish lanux128 for something he did in a past life.

[lanux128]

maybe Farr was punishing me for sloppiness - leaving every single plugin enabled regardless of usage.

[zhichao]

I also found the FARREnvironmentVariable caused the same trouble.  Is there a common pattern why these plugins disabled the hotkeys?

[jgpaiva]

Could it be related to the C# sdk? They both are programmed in c#.
Does FarrTunes also cause that behaviour?

[lanux128]

pursuant to my thread here, i've found out that another plugin is causing the same problem - FarrAltTab. enabling this plugin also breaks the following:

1. 'Ctrl+Alt+Enter' hotkey to open all search results.
2. '/stayopen' keyword assigned to aliases.
3. 'Launch and stay open' - either via context-menu or hotkey.

[zhichao]

Yes, that is consistent to what I have been experienced.

[s.newave]

Hopefully Vitally can update his plugins as they are all really usefull to me.

[lanux128]

yes, i'm already missing FarrAltTab.

[vitalyb]

Woah. I had no idea about this and yes, probably ALL C# plugins are affected.
I never used "Ctrl+Alt+Enter" so I never noticed.

Now the only thing left is to guess what functionality of the SDK causes it .
