The ability to disabled contextual search is being tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17058
with 5.1 target.

trying out
MediaMonkey_5.0.3.2627 download
(standard, free, basic functionality)

yes, singlular keys. my hotkey setup:

` rating now playing file: rate unknown
0 rating now playing file: rate 0 stars
1 rating now playing file: rate 1 stars
2 rating now playing file: rate 2 stars
3 rating now playing file: rate 3 stars
4 rating now playing file: rate 4 stars
5 rating now playing file: rate 5 stars
W playback: previous file
S playback: next file
A playback: skip 5 seconds backward
D playback: skip 5 seconds forward
Q rating now playing file: rate 0.5 star down
E rating now playing file: rate 0.5 star up

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey are you using and are you using just the single key as a Hotkey?

Contextual Search can't be disabled.

i use hotkeys. had no problem with previous versions, but MM5 has it so that typing in an assigned hotkey (eg. A S W D) triggers the "search bar" (searches for "A" "S" "W" "D") instead. is there a way to disable this "auto-search" feature entirely? again, i need hotkeys (that may otherwise trigger the search bar) to have the priority - as it was with MM4. i can't rule out possibility i'm likely just overlooking something staring back at me. any help would be greatly appreciated.
