We're really loving the Quick Search feature in the new calendar, but often want to dismiss the search results after we've clicked through to our destination record. This little mod will close the search results window if you hold down the shift key while clicking on a result.

1. Edit the script "Search - Go to Results ( Line )" and declare a new variable at the beginning of the script:

Code: Select all

Set Variable [ $Window; Value: Get ( WindowName )]

2. At the very end of the script add this:

Code: Select all

If [ Mod(Get ( ActiveModifierKeys );2)=1 ]
Close Window [ Name: $Window; Current file ]
End If

That's it.

Hi John, that's a great mod, but it doesn't work when the result you click on opens a mini window.

I've started to experiment with making the mod a subscript to be called with different parameters, but the layout work is a higher priority right now so I'm forcing myself to quit (I'd much rather be editing scripts than layouts).

If you want it to work for Activity also (we didn't) then you just need to add another instance of the If / Close / End If section within the "Show one record" branch of the $Context = "Activity" section. Add this right before the Pause/Resume Script step.

Thanks, that's helpful -as ever.
