Seer as a External Viewer in Total Commander #401

Closed Tridy closed 1 year ago

Tridy commented 1 year ago

Hi. I have setup Seer as the "External Viewer" in Total Commander with F3. Compared with other viewers, I think that Seer is trying to send the focus back to the host. So, in order to close the Seer I need to click on it first (focus it) and only then pressing Esc will work to close it. What i want:

  1. select a file
  2. press F3 to show it in Seer
  3. press Esc to close it

so for now I need to click/focus Seer between steps 2 and 3

so it would be nice to have a parameter to Seer.exe something like /keepfocus or similar. or have I misunderstool how Seer works with the window focus?

Thanks!

P.S. By the way, it works if I use F3 again in step 3 (without the need to focus), but I would like to use Esc instead.

In next release, there will be a new key, enable_esc_key, in User.ini, user can press Esc to close the window even when it does not have the input focus. image

The setting in the picture still required one more keypress to focus the window, which I would prefer not to have. The option for 'enable_esc_key' sounds really good! Thanks!
