Empty last Query & Ctrl+Enter didn't work in some case

[AirDays]

Describe the bug/issue

1. the Empty last Query didn't work when i right click the search result to select other options, the last query wouldn't empty when reactivate;and if i only right click and do not select any options, reactivate will keep the option list(i have to click the left arrow key to back to the search menu)
2. the Ctrl+Enter didn't work when some search results come from Program plugin's "Index Start Menu"

Your System

Windows build number: Windows10 21H2
Flow Launcher version: 1.9.2

no,Ctrl+Enter, the hotkey for Open Containing Folder, it didn't work in the case above(the operating results must come from that plugin that option) and seems to become a normal Enter.

I don't think we have ctrl + enter open containing folder for program plugin? Probably some of the program works because those entries come from explorer plugin.

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't seem to make sense that Ctrl+Enter hotkey has taught user in Wizard but actually didn't work for some program's results when right click to select Open Containing Folder it work.

Ah I see the issue. We will discuss about whether to add ctrl+enter for opening containing folder for program plugin or adjust the wizard. Thanks for indicating this.

Good point. I have seldomly needed to check where a program is installed to when I wanted to open the containing folder. @AirDays do you have a use case that is frequent or is it more the inconsistency from the wizard's guide?

Mostly I don't need to check the program installed folder, but sometimes i will open installed folder multiple times to override and update some portable programs or check some setting files(also i think if someone use a program export files in the installed path, they will need it too). I spent some time comparing other launchers(ueli/listary), and found their program search seem like Flowlauncher's Explorer plugin but more make sense to me because they put the program's .lnk to the top of results, Open Containing Folder's hotkey work and the result name will hide extension name when the result is a program's .Ink(that would be more friendly to user).In ueli case, i can easily open .Ink folder on the top of results then use windows context menu; In listary case, it include .lnk's windows context menu in the result's context menu, both of them can easily open .Ink containing or program installed folder. FlowLauncher seem to ranking drop the .Ink because Explorer&Program plugin have similar function, i try to disable Program plugin or set up the priority but it can't satisfy me because 1. .Ink still under some items come from same plugin 2. the extension name can't hide.

And I guess the main reason i want to use FlowLauncher hotkey instead of result's context menu is Empty last Query function is not perfect yet and i didn't know which item i selected when i am in context menu. i have said too much;)

Sorry I didn't see the later message. The behavior already has a development pr for displaying result panel when deactivating. So you may see that in the next release.

To do before closing this issue, update wizards wording to be plugin specific:

Update to 'Open A File/Folder's Containing Folder'
