hotkeys > search bar [#17058]

Post by soth1sol »

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.

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.
