Opening file that matches the end of the search text

Post by kanek »

The other day i made the search of Historiques.pGetListeMiseAJourTable, the file I was searching for was pGetListeMiseAJourTable.sql , as expected i got no results, but by mistake i did a shortcut that i dont remember. Something like Ctrl+F1 or Ctrl+F2 or Ctrl+F2 or Shift+F1,2,3 or Win+F1,2,3, for some reason it opened the file pGetListeMiseAJourTable.sql. I was so surprised and happy because i usually do that kind of search "Scheme.pGetSomething" and i have to delete the "Scheme." part so i find my file.

Today i can't get it to work and I dont remember exactly the shortcut.

for some reason it opened the file pGetListeMiseAJourTable.sql
Into what program did it open?

Might .sql be assigned to a particular program, & upon hitting <Enter> upon a .sql, it opens in that program?

With SSMS, but the weird part was that it didn't even show any result in Everything, but it opened it in SSMS when i did the keyboard combination.

(For those who didn't know, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).)


Note that ".pGetListeMiseAJourTable" is an extension (if you will).
So you could do a search like,
ext:pGetListeMiseAJourTable
.
Likewise, there is a stem: function, so whatever the opposite of stem: is (maybe tail: or leaf:, heh) might be some value in that?
(Oh, & stem: etc. deals with Everything 1.5 alpha, not 1.4.)


And the hotkey took the extension part (if you will), & appended ".sql" onto that, & then opened that in SSMS.
Hmm... got me on that one.
(Now, you can probably ? accomplish that, in 1.5, setting a hotkey, I'd think?)

What version of Everything are you using?

If you are using Everything 1.5, please check your key bindings with the following search:
about:keys
Press ENTER in the search box.
