Summary0001560: Pressing Enter on a file search result repeats the search instead of going to the file
DescriptionThe default action on pressing Enter on a Search result is to repeat the search. This is less useful than going to that file.
Steps To Reproduce1. Search for a filename that will produce at least one result
2. Press Enter

Notice how the search starts again, with the same parameters. I think it will be more useful if the default button were "Go to file".

This is cause by the fact that at some point in the code someone add a hotkey (keyboard shortcut) to launch a new search. The hotkey the person chose was... ENTER! So that's why after selecting you file in the result you press the ENTER key thinking it would go to the file but in fact it will invoke the new search. Go in the configuration pages, go in the hot keys configuration, then select the category "Find files" and then scroll to find the command "cm_Start". The remove the "Enter" hotkey from there. After that you'll see, ENTER will go to file. The "old code" is still there for that.

On 2016-11-30 I've change the code so by default on a new installation it won't do that, it won't use the ENTER as a shortcut for that. But for the person who already install the application, they need to do that modification here. And until a new offical version is release, you need to do that.

I made a video describing that under this link: https://youtu.be/T_C8LEOb4dE [^]

Thanks.
