suggestions:
please add keyboard shortcut to view button in file find results, for example - spacebar

also you can add F4 as edit shortcut without going to panel with results for quick editing (as in TC)

and final one: maybe it is not necessary to clear the previous search results?

Even for me was strange, view graphic file as text after pressing [preview] button

This one is simple - there's already a ^V hotkey for this.

Yep, I have this one in backlog, will be done at some point.

Well, it'll all about VFS management at this moment.
Simply storing some list of found items would lead to preservation of their VFS'es, which will lead to expected results in form of some network connections, opened file handles, memory usage et cetera.
It's possible to convert found items list into some meta-information for later restoration, but such fiddling is not a simple task, and might lead to very funky edge cases.
So, in short, it's good to save those results, but it's tricky to implement it.

Actually Preview is not participating in choosing of viewer's initial state, it's only between Text and Hex now.

Spacebar functions as the default preview shortcut in the whole MacOS system. When navigating through the file panels in NC - the same thing. It would be logical to use the same key at results window, without introducing a new keyboard shortcut.

Ok, agree, it seems reasonable to process Spacebar as View when focus is on results list.
But it can't be wired as a dialog-wide hotkey, since buttons use it to trigger themselves.

This behavior is only required when selected entry in the results list.

Ok, done.

I can't reproduce this issue. Can please re-check it on a recent build?

pressing [tab] on focused dropdown - nothing happened
