The Preferences pages relating to the Find-As-You-Type field (FAYT) and Filter Bar have been reorganised.
This page contains all settings relating to activation of the FAYT and Filter Bar via the keyboard. The new option Default mode lets you choose whether the Filter Bar or a specific FAYT mode is activated by default; that is, when you press a key that hasn’t been assigned to a specific mode.
This page contains options relating to the behaviour of the FAYT and Filter Bar. The new options on this page are:
Allow return key to open selected item: In the FAYTFilter mode, pressing the Return key will open the item with focus rather than simply closing the FAYT field.
Select first matching item: In the FAYTFilter mode, the first item that matches the filter will be automatically selected.
Match any word: In the Filter Bar, the Match Any word option treats all words you enter as separate patterns. For example, you can type “moo cow” and it would automatically match a file called “moo” or a file called “cow”. This saves you having to build up complex OR wildcards (the equivalent wildcard would be “(moo|cow)”).
Use regular expression: When turned on, the pattern you enter into the Filter Bar will be treated as a regular expression rather than a simple wildcard.
