    Hello,

    I use your plugin and I like it. I added some features if you're interested.
    In particular, I added an additional shortcut, and I also displayed a message to indicate which action will be used when confirming by pressing Enter. I think i can create a new git branch from your project, but I'll leave you the files I've modified if you are intersted.

    Maybe the default value variable was not the best.

    Thanks. I like the UI modification for the additional actions.

    For the other change, in principle the idea of having a message indicate which action will be taken with the currently held modifier keys seems good, but I don't like having it in the same label as the "Start typing to search entities" message. I'll try and think of another place for it; if you have any other ideas for how to present it, please let me know.

    If you create a fork and a merge request then I'll review the code. The advantage of this is that you are credited as the author of the commit. Of course if you don't want to bother and would prefer me to just take the files from the zip then that's no problem, just let me know.

    I think that UI looks better, thanks. You wouldn't have permission to merge, but you should be able to create a merge request - do you see a button called "Request Merge"? That should then create a merge request which I review and approve. (example)

    Thanks for doing the merge request. I've merged it, and added a few tweaks. I moved the drawing of the shortcuts over to the bottom right so they aren't as squashed up to the bottom, and made it only appear after you first use any modifier so it doesn't distract when unwanted. Also made the drop downs in the options a bit bigger to fit all the text.

    If you'd like to give the 1.6 candidate a try, I've attached it here. I'm giving it a bit more testing and will release soon, unless you find any problems with it.

    Thanks for uprgats it.
    Unfortunately I have tried it and I have some problems with some characters when I am typing on my keyboard "o" "O" "m" "M" "^" "/" ":" "!" "§" the search window closed. I try to copy it or type with alt+79 for the "O", I don't have any problem.

    Oh, well spotted. Thanks for reporting it. This should fix the issue.
