Invoking and focus upon invoking

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Version 2.6.

I'm editing text in a Notepad++ tab, and now I want to run NavigateTo's functionality. If I press the shortcut keycombo, the NavigateTo window that I had open from the last time closes, when what it should do is stay open and take input focus here:

Worse, when the NavigateTo window closes, input focus is left in some strange and unknown place, because a second press of the keycombo does nothing.

I don't consider this to be a huge issue (since you can just hit Ctrl+comma (or whatever your keycombo is) twice in quick succession, but I see why you find it irritating.
I'm inclined to make it so hitting Escape while in the form minimizes the form, and maybe the shortcut keycombo doesn't minimize, just focuses the editor. Do you think that would help meet your needs?

Unfortunately I can't replicate that, but that is definitely a more serious problem.

Hopefully this is resolved in version 2.6.4.

@alankilborn Please could you double check this issue in v. 2.6.4 ?
