Cannot assign find_hotkey_replace_dlg to "Ctrl+H"

[RRPollack]

Every other editor I've used for the last 30 years has used Ctrl+H to activate a "Find and Replace" dialog. CudaText uses Ctrl+R. Attempting to change "find_hotkey_replace_dlg" to Ctrl+H does not work, and this function remains bound to Ctrl+R.

It appears Find In Files 4 hard-codes Ctrl-H as some sort of "help" function, but removing this add-on and restarting CudaText does not help.

FindInFiles4 does not assign Ctrl+H to visible command.

I cannot confirm problem with Ctrl+H if i assign it to the 'replace dialog' command in Cmd Palette.
First I see this for 'replace dialog', Ctrl+R

here I press F9 and change hotkey to Ctrl+H.

Ctrl+H works after that. restart of app -- Ctrl+H still works.

1. make sure you did NOT set "For current lexer" checkbox in the hotkey-assign dialog.
2. post here your file settings/keys.json after you changed hotkey.

Seems you talk about this option:

but this is the hotkey from inside the Find/Replace dialog to toggle Find/Replace mode.
this hotkey does NOT work when you call Find/Replace from usual editor. (to change THAT hotkey, use Command Palette dialog, focus item "replace dialog" and press F9 there).

Yes, that's the dialog where I was trying to set the hotkey. Doing it through the Command Palette does work.

HOWEVER... I'm coming from Sublime Text, and the Options -> Settings interface looked very familiar. The Options Editor Lite dialog showed what appeared to be the option I wanted to change, including the default hotkey I wanted to change. This is very likely to confuse others, as "Options" seems a more likely place to define a hotkey than "Command Palette".

I'm still not clear on what the option I did change does.

Option you changed does change the hotkey when Find dlg is focused, it can be defferent hotkey (and it cannot be the combo of 2 hotkeys.)

Made detailed text in default.json now:

//[Find/Hotkeys]
//Hotkeys in the Find/Replace dialog. They work only when Find/Replace dialog is focused.
//Hotkey to change Find/Replace mode can be different than "replace dialog" hotkey, which
//you set in the Command Palette. These hotkeys cannot be combo (2 hotkeys at once).
