I will consider a restart command.
Thank you for your suggestion, Stamimail.

Can I ask, why are you restarting Everything often enough to want a keyboard shortcut?



Please consider a bookmark:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmark menu, click Add to bookmarks....
  • Change the Name to: Restart Everything
  • Change the Search to: /restart
  • To the right of Keyboard shortcut, press a new keyboard shortcut
  • Click OK.

I think it will be good particularly for test versions. I remember myself restarting in process of testing and translating.
There is already Ctrl+Shift+Q. Naturally, I pressed Ctrl+Shift+R looking for restarting.
Please consider a bookmark:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmark menu, click Add to bookmarks....
  • Change the Name to: Restart Everything
  • Change the Search to: /restart
  • To the right of Keyboard shortcut, press a new keyboard shortcut
  • Click OK.
It works.
How does it know to press ENTER?
How the bookmark knows if I want only to write the command without executing (press enter) or with executing?
Don't you think the user needs to add at end a kind of preprocessor or search command?
/restart/enter

Opening a bookmark will automatically execute any search commands.

To set the search to /restart from a bookmark, use the following bookmark search:
/expand /restart

It works.
I will note that I think we'll agree that a simple user won't know how to do it without help. (This way is not so intuitive for the simple user)
I guess others have benefits in this way.

Either way, I think you can hint the user what to do to get what he wants (with or without execution). In the tooltip of
