But it's no replacement for quick searching. It's an alternative way to navigate, yep, also existing in TC. Also, > into Opus 9 then the pop-up Search Field turns into a command field. There's a command field in Opus that you can add to your toolbars. (After adding the filter field to your toolbar, edit it and you'll see a place to define its hotkey.) Those two things combined should give the desired result.Īctivates the command line which can be very important for command like geeks. You can also assign a hotkey to a filter field. You can create hotkeys to go to drive letters (or any other path) via Customize->Keys.

In TC I can optionally start quicksearching by typing a hotkey plus letter combination (Alt+letter, Ctrl-Alt+letter) (I didn't even realise F3 worked until now. I usually use the down cursor to move to the next file but that, of course, isn't the same as what F3 does.

I am used to that in TC, but to my knowledge Directory Opus has every option accessible in the preferences, hasn't it? If there are any hidden options which have to be entered in a config file manually, please drop me a line. The only match I found was the one to disable the find field. I have searched the preferences for a possibility to configure the quick search but had no luck, not even a match for "quick". Also the quick search functionality can be disabled completely. In TC I can optionally start quicksearching by typing a hotkey plus letter combination (Alt+letter, Ctrl-Alt+letter), in this case a letter press doesn't start quicksearching but instead directly activates the command line which can be very important for command like geeks. In TC I press Ctrl-Enter to jump to the next match, enter to execute, there is no need to leave the lower keyboard area. Optional semiautomatic modes are included too, in which the * is preset to match the beginning of a filename and an entered dot is expanded to *.

txt extension, I can also type "?" to replace a char. In TC I can type "*.txt" to jump to a file with. Compared to Total Commander the quick search in DO 9 lacks several comfort features:
