BUG: Pressing enter while the prompt "Enter *" is displayed results in the text being duplicated in the FL's search bar #34

When I press enter while a suggestion such as "Enter the shortcut/group/variable/etc. name" or "Enter shell type" is displayed, it simply replicates the same in the FL's search bar. This should not be the standard behavior. Ideally, pressing enter while a suggestion is visible starting with "Enter something" should result in no action.

Thanks again for the feedback! I'll fix this in the next version. Your input is helping make the plugin even better!

Another quick suggestion. Please make sure the ctrl+tab keybinding does not work while open group <group_name> is in selection, because it just types the same thing in the FL's search bar. Also disabling this ctrl+tab keybinding when suggestions like 'enter something' is displayed and selected in the result list. I believe you can improve upon this.

Both the issues have now been resolved!!!! Many thanks to the dev.

Fixing these minor bugs will greatly improve the user experience:

  1. Pressing enter on any of the following commands in the FL's search bar causes the launcher to close or exit:

For the last two commands, the launcher exits only if no variables or groups have been added. (It's unclear if this is the intended behavior.)

  1. The Ctrl+tab keybinding should not function with the following selections:

    • q <group_name> as the query in the FL bar (it enters all the shortcuts in the group into the FL bar)

    • q var list (it enters Variables into the FL bar)

    • q settings (it enters Open Flow Launcher settings into the FL bar)

    • <something> not found is in selection (e.g., No groups found, No variables found)

    • In the var list section, pressing the keybinding on any variable enters variable:<variable_name> value: <variable_value>

It would be great if the dev recognizes these inconsistencies and make the necessary improvements. By the way the last update fixed most of the problems I had with the plugin. It is a true godsend.

And also how to access the variables. What's their intended purpose? I might be asking a dumb question here, but I seriously don't know how to use it 😶

One example is defining a default directory. For instance, all your shortcuts might begin with "C:/Users/user/..." :

var = "C:/Users/user/..."

This allows you to easily append shortcuts like:

{var} + shortcut 1
{var} + shortcut 2
{var} + shortcut 3

This setup simplifies transitioning between different PCs.
