Ctrl + Shift + F - Opens the Go to file search bar not working 23.10.9

I just upgraded from 23.04 to 23.10.9 on my work machine and the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F - Opens the Go to file search bar. is not working. I can see here

https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2023.10/user-guide/keyboard-shortcuts

that it hasn’t been removed and other shortcuts I used are still working.

Ctrl+F and Ctrl+Shift+F not working

Hey, very annoying when you have been using them, works for me . I tried reinstalling and removing configs but it didn’t work.

You should click the vote button and hopefully someone at UiPath will see it!

Agreed. You should have just included the link to the vote button :tickets:

It’s just at the top of this page :+1:

It seems like you’re encountering an issue with a specific keyboard shortcut after upgrading to UiPath 23.10.9. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

  1. Check for Conflicting Shortcuts:
    Sometimes, other software on your machine (e.g., IDEs or custom programs) might have taken over the Ctrl + Shift + F combination. You can verify this by checking your system or other applications’ shortcut settings.

  2. Reset Keyboard Shortcuts in UiPath Studio:
    In UiPath, you can try resetting the shortcuts to default settings. Here’s how:

    • Go to File > Preferences in UiPath Studio.
    • Under the General tab, check for any options related to keyboard shortcuts and try resetting them to defaults.
  3. Reassign the Shortcut Manually:
    If the shortcut is still not working, you can reassign it:

    • Open File > Preferences in UiPath Studio.
    • Go to the Keyboard Shortcuts section.
    • Look for Go to File and manually assign Ctrl + Shift + F to it, if it’s missing.
  4. Check for Extensions or Plugins:
    Ensure that no third-party extensions or plugins are interfering with the shortcut functionality. Sometimes, updates can conflict with installed extensions.

  5. Restart UiPath Studio:
    After making any changes, ensure you restart UiPath Studio to apply them properly.

  6. Reinstall or Repair UiPath Studio:
    If none of the above steps work, consider reinstalling or running a repair on UiPath Studio, as there could have been an issue during the upgrade process.

Let me know if any of these steps resolve the issue or if you need further help!

Haha, nice! Tanks :slight_smile:

I can’t see any settings for keyboard settings in UiPath studio?

Ok, I can see why it no longer works, if you have no workflows open, the keyboard shortcut has been changed to [ctrl][t]. If a workflow is open then [ctrl][t] adds a try catch around whatever activity is highlighted. This was very confusing for a short while!!

It is funny. Specially because the screenshot in the help page shows Ctrl+T while the help says “Ctrl + Shift + F” :frowning:

Cheers
