Add ability to define home settings
Preflight Checklist
- [X] I have searched all open and closed issues for the same feature request without success.
Problem Description
I have created some default search options under Everything, which unfortunately are not taken over by EverythingToolbar.
Proposed Solution
I would like EverythingToolbar to take over not only the filters from Everything, but also other settings like the search options (under General > Home).
Alternatives Considered
If my proposed solution does not work, the most obvious idea would be to implement these settings manually. However, this would most probably be much more work. Or I just accept that it is not possible.
Additional Information
In addition to filters Toolbar also recognizes macros which you have defined in Everything. What settings you are missing in Filters ? You can define any searches with all their functions and other attributes. I don't see what is missing.
With the "Home" options I can set which results are displayed by default when I open a new search window in Everything. I would also like to have this behavior when the Toolbar search opens.
For example, if I apply the settings shown in the previous screenshot above, every time I start a new Everything search, the "Documents" filter is set by default and the results are sorted by "Run Count (Descending)" (see screenshot 1). But when I want to search with Toolbar, the "Everything"-filter is always set (see screenshot 2).
So I miss a default search filter setting that sets the same filter every time I open the Toolbar search. I hope my explanation is clear enough.
In version 1.0.5 of the toolbar you can set "Remember Filter". So the next toolbar search will start with the last used filter.
Unfortunately the Everything SDK doesn't provide a way to retrieve those settings from the active Everything instance so synchronizing those will not be easily possible.
I will rephrase the issue title to reflect your specific use case better. At least that part could potentially be a feature of EverythingToolbar.
Would be good to have an option to at least open with the last search. It's too easy to accidentally close the toolbar and have to type it again.

This can already be done by enabling search history in EverythingToolbar options.

Thanks, just figured out Ctrl+arrows works
