F8 zoom functionality

Postby adelphiaUK » Sun Jun 08, 2025 8:12 am

This is my first post, so I'm hoping I'm putting it under the correct forum heading.

Anyway. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or whether I'm not understanding the correct method of using it, but in the help balloons when you click inside a text input control, is says to press F8 to open the zoom window so you can add multiple entries. However, this doesn't appear to work on Windows 11 with a UK layout; pressing F8 simply does nothing.

I do want to congratulate you on a fantastic utility mind, and you've saved me a heck of a lot of time as only yesterday I was quite literally thinking about writing a similar utility using VS; or at least starting one. I shall be putting forward a few suggestions (which would compliment my ideas which I would have been contemplating adding to my utility) as and when I think of them, some of which I already had planned.

Hi, the F8 will open the zoom window where you can select recent entries, etc It works in entry fields such as Match, Replace, With, etc.
Glad BRU’s saving you time – we look forward to your suggestions!

Sorry! It was my fault. I had ShareX keys mapped to F6, F7 & F8 but I've remapped them to Shift+ said keys so I can use the F8 key in your brilliant program!
Feature suggestions/request will be coming once I make sure the vast features you already have don't cover it.

PS: Are signatures/avatars disabled indefinitely/permanently for the board, or do I just need to get a few more post/hours under my belt?

Cheers again
