Description TorrAB 2020-11-19 00:43:26 UTC
Description:
When beginning a search (^f)search-string menu opens at the first item, eg, ‘aa’ if user searched successively for ‘aa’, ‘bb’ and ‘cc’. The menu should open instead with the LAST search, eg, ‘bb’ (which may not be the last menu item), because:
	* it's more likely for the user to repeat the last search rather than the first one done in the work session; (If he|she does want the first menu item, he|she can select it, and it becomes the last-used item!)
	* if the search is automatic, eg, via a AutoHotKey script, the user does not have a chance to reject the first menu item if it's not wanted.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do 2 (or more) different searches
begin another search (^f)

3.

Actual Results:
Menu opens at the first item.

Expected Results:
Menu should open at last search


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I'm not sure, if I anderstand ist correctly

Steps (perhaps):
1. Open witer
2. ^f => ^p (Print dialog opens) => Cancel
3. ^f

Actual result: NEW is preselected
Desired result: last used menu entry should be preselected (lke Print in the example)

Does this describe your idea?
