Umut Ucler (ID: 000000b6f94ce8a0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/10/2020 Many great features but I experience some bugs. Often times when I search, the built in suggestion and a suggestion pop up show up on top of it. It means I can't use the arrow keys to choose the correct action, since it controls the pop up suggestions and not the plugins. There is a solution, but it requires some additional frustrating steps. If I search for "Publish items", these are the steps I need to do. 1. CTRL + SPACE 2. Type "publi" 3. TAB 4. SHIFT TAB 5. Then I can use the arrow key to choose the correct command Any fix for this?

Michael West (ID: 000000a359eb39f5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/22/2019 There are many great features. Two that I use the most often include the auto-expanding tree and having the ability to view the *real* field name in the Content Editor. Thank you for making this available to the community.
