Hi! Please add “ **Type directly for search** ” support for **Total Commander** and **XYplorer** and other file managers as well. This feature is the only one keeping me from updating from Listary v5. Not sure why it’s not implemented yet, but it will make Listary v6 much better in terms of user experience. ---

This would conflict with the default usage of typing directly inside of Total Commander and XYplorer. Both are filtering when you just start to type which is more often needed than a global search. At least for me the file manager mode (Ctrl Ctrl) of Listary inside of a file manager window is enough. ---

Both TC and XYplorer typing filter limited to just current folder, which is almost the same as in Windows Explorer. Listary on the other hand greatly expands this. It gives possibility to search in current folder and everywhere else as well. A need to press Ctrl+Ctrl is just an excessive step imo ---

In the list of file managers I’d love for **Files** to be supported. It’s quickly become my favorite file manager, but the lack of Listary support really drags it down. > **[Files • Home](https://files.community/)** > > Building the best file manager for Windows.
