b [Fixed] Filter Search Control+F Not Working

6 months ago

Might be something to do with the way 2.0 handles the Control+F find functionality, but Control+F isn't working anymore when trying to filter the thing to search for in this mod.

Steps:
1. Press Shift+F to open Factory Search (this works fine)
2. Click the giant button to open the "Set the filter" dialog
3. Try to press Control+F so you can type for the thing you want to filter on.
4. Nothing happens

You can manually click on the magnifying glass in the upper right of the "Set the filter" dialog, but who wants to manually click these days? :)

I'm guessing this might be a bug with 2.0 in all mod dialogs, but I don't have any other mods to test with.

Yes this is an engine bug in 2.0 that hasn’t been fixed yet. I reported it in the beta test a while ago, I haven’t made a forum bug report about it yet.

When there is a mod gui set to player.opened (ie it is a ‘main’ gui), the engine stops listening to Control+F because otherwise mods wouldn’t be able to use it as it would just open remote view search. But they didn’t consider that the choose-elem-button still needs to listen for it, as that is also controlled by the engine itself, not a mod.

Looks like the game fixed this now. Control+F is working now (after you press the giant item selector button)
