as show :
ev wfn issue.gif
I use AHK to add prefix wfn: to edit field,
Code: Select all
^Tab::{
oText := ControlGetText("Edit1")
ControlSetText "wfn:" oText, "Edit1", "ahk_class EVERYTHING"
}
but it will not take effect immediately.
then I delete wfn: , the result list has not changed..
I have to delete a letter to make it effective.

Works fine here (AHK 2.0..19.0 x64 + Everything 1.5.0.1406 @ Win11 25H2 )
wfn.gif
(I assume this is a simplified version of your actual code as it would disable `CTRL + TAB` in all applications)
Code: Select all
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
^Tab::
{
oText := ControlGetText("Edit1", "ahk_class EVERYTHING")
ControlSetText("wfn:" oText, "Edit1", "ahk_class EVERYTHING")
}

I think this is a pinyin issue..?
I'm trying different search options but unable to reproduce here.
Is pinyin enabled under Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> pinyin ?
What search options are checked under the Search menu?
I might need to see debug logs to figure this one out..

Thank you for the pinyin information.
Please send a debug log:
In Everything, set your search to: foobar2000.exe
From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging...
Call your AutoHotKey script to add wfn:
Select the wfn: text in Everything and press Backspace.
From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging...
This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in your text editor.
Please upload this file in a bug report .

Thank you, I found it, It is indeed caused by the Pinyin plugin
IbEverythingExt
when it is disabled, everything OK now.
I will report this issue to the plugin author

It turns out it's actually a bug of Everything that usually won't be triggered. IbEveryhingExt just triggered it by accident.

The regex: modifier supersedes the wfn: modifier.
The regex: modifier does not support the wfn: modifier.
The wfn: modifier is ignored when used with regex:
To match the whole filename with regex, use:
regex:^foobar2000\.json$
^ = match the start of the filename.
$ = match the end of the filename.

startwith: and endwith: are not compatible with pinyin:
1407a will disable pinyin: when using startwith: and endwith:
