[Request] Don't loose focus after pressing delete

Postby Elbereth » Thu Mar 17, 2011 5:29 pm

Hi,

I am using 6.00b6 right now and I noticed that when viewing headers in a group, I want to select a bunch of them (usually via keyboard: ctrl/shift/arrows) and delete [actually Mark as old] them (with Delete button). The headers are marked old/deleted but the focus is lost and I must click again on the Newsbin group to be able to continue using the keyboard as navigation.

Is it possible to avoid loosing focus after the deletion is done?

Regards,
Elbereth

Hi Elbereth,

if you need a workaround you can create one using AutoHotkey.
I had the same problem with Internet Search Results and switching between applications (I want to copy some
subjects and paste them into an Excel-Sheet, but every time I came back from Excel I've lost the focus).

Just add to your AutoHotkey.ahk these three lines

Code: Select all
; Assing macro to Windows-Key+9
#9::
ControlFocus, SysListView329, A


Now, after you lost the focus just hit Windows-Key+9 - of course, you can assing this "macro" to a different
shortcut.

Your control (SysListView329) may be different but you can easily get the value from Window-Spy which
is delivered together with AutoHotkey.

If you need some help, just ask.

Best regards,

billy

this one got fixed in beta 8.

But if I swith to a diffent application like Excel and back, I'm still loosing the actual focus e.g. from
a selected Search Result.
I know, this isn't a bug but if it's not time-consuming to change it, it would be nice to get it.

P.S.: My workaround with AutoHotkey isn't really working because the value "SysListView329"
changes every time you open a NZB or Group.
