Just having a play with the new release. So far I’m loving the new flexibility and can’t wait to see what else lies inside. Just wanted to know if there’s still a way to invoke search from a global hotkey? Previously CTRL+SHIFT+Space would focus the window and invoke search. With v3 it simply focusses the window, but doesn’t then allow for keyboard input to search. Is there a new key combo I need to know? (need to tweak my AHK script) 😃

AFAIK shift + cmd + space works to focus search, on macOS at least, and I believe others have confirmed it works on Windows as well.

Hmm. I’ll keep fiddling. Just seems to focus the window but not search (unless I’m already on the search tab). If I’ve got something playing it’s just focusing on the playback page.

Shift+ALT+Space is working over here on my Windows machine.

Ah!!! I may be going crazy but I swear it used to be Shift+CTRL+Space, not ALT. That key combo is working for me! Cheers guys!
