![]() ![]() I have learned to work around this situation as much as possible by doing other things. If ATNSOFT Key Manager did what it pretends that it will, the Delete key should be blocked for the Results panel, but it is not. This may have been the original intent why the program works this way. I search, then press Delete key on each result and the file is gone. In other uses, the Delete is a great way to get rid of files with some particular text. It is a shame that the best one I have found has this one issue. I have spent good money on several that did not function anywhere near as good as the one I would like to replace. I have been on the lookout for a reliable S&R tool as a replacement for many years. The S&R tool that has the issue is abandonware, and thus not an option to make the Delete files a config option. Other S&R tools hang if they have to process a lot of files, also a no no. It must absolutely always find every file consistently. The others attempt to keep too much in memory or whatever reason that causes them to fail, and eventually miss some of the files, which is a no no for a S&R tool. Yes, yes, yes, I know, why not use a different S&R tool? Well I do use a variety of S&R tools, but the one I am attempting to override is the fastest, and most thorough one, plus it has several options that others do not have. Also, it is a nuisance to determine which file I just accidentally deleted. Sadly, there is no sending the file to Recycle bin. Any file in the Results panel that is selected, or by default, the first one, will be instantly deleted from the disk. ![]() Thus, the Delete key will be interrupted as if it was for the S&R tool. If in my text editor, I use the Delete key to delete a character, selected text, or any other combination of things that I might use the Delete key for, when the S&R tool finishes and the results panel is displayed, very often the Delete key operation I did that was intended to be for the editor, did not register before the S&R tool shows up. If I am in the middle of doing text editing in the foreground, which more than likely I am also doing (although the text editing is on an entirely different set of files so as not to conflict). That panel pops to the foreground when the S&R tool finishes. The S&R tool shows the files found with the search string or it altered (it can do both) in a "Results" panel. No, the reason why is that these are files that are being altered either by editing individually or by a group change using either an editor or a tool that does a Search & Replace operation, which is the very tool that I am attempting to block. ![]()
