Quick search in panel no longer working in Far 3.0.0.6456

[Markus74a]

Far Manager version

3.0.0.6456

OS version

10.0.22631.5039

Other software

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Far and go to any directory
2. Press <ALT>+<x> to start searching for entries in the current panel starting with the letter x

In Far 3.0.0.6454 (and before), this would open the panel's quick search dialog, allowing you to enter more letters after the initial x.

Expected behavior

When pressing <ALT>+<x> in the file panel, Far should:

1. Jump to the first file or directory starting with the letter x
2. Open the panel's quick search dialog pre-filled with x and allowing to enter more letters to search for
3. (If no entries starting with x exist, open an empty panel quick search dialog)

Actual behavior

Nothing happens at all (no jump to entry and no dialog opening)

Far Manager (build 6456) x64 works for me under Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Hi @Markus74a, 6456 x64 works fine for me too, Win 10 22H2. Can you please provide more details to reproduce the problem?

It might be something related to the "FastFind Enhanced" plugin. With build 6454 and 6455 it still work fine, with build 6456 (772b0f3e243118c136412ec5ef7ce0359f5dffa6) the key combination does no longer work.

The plugin uses a LUA file in the \Profile\Macros\scripts directory:

Macro {
  description="FastFind Enhanced starter";
  area="Shell";
  key="/.Alt(Shift)?./";
  flags="";
  action=function()
    mf.mmode(3,1) -- do not wait for Plugin.Call to finish execution
    Plugin.Call("3106d308-a685-415c-96e6-84c8ebb361fe", 1, akey(1))
  end;
}

If I remove that file, the quick search menu pops up again. If the file exists, it does not work in build 6456 any more.

The plugin itself works fine if invoked from the menu, but invoking it by hotkey does not work.

@Markus74a Yes, Plugin.Call in build 6456 is broken. Build 6453 was fine in that regard.

GitHub build 6457 (503d884a4817ce8dc29d3678b47d5c401b44c8f4) seems to fix the problem. The quick search dialog can be triggered by the hotkey again.
