Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if this is a small feature request.
After I do a find using CTRL-F I would like to choose a file and then use ALT-T or something similar to edit the tags of that file. Instead I have to click on the file in the Find window and that selects the file in the main window, but then I have to click on it there and then I am able to hit ALT-T. Thanks.
Not the biggest deal by far, but it is a little annoying -
Much respect to Florian and MP3tag. I love this program.

If i understand your issue correctly, I think if you use the FILTER (Shortcut key = F3), instead of CTRL F, you can still find what you want, click on the file in the search results and use ALT-T.
Alternative shortcut is CTRL-Q to Show/hide Tag Panel. If you want to save your changes before you exit, press CTRL-S. If you're in the Show/hide Tag Panel and make changes but don't press CTRL-S, it will ask you if you want to save changes.
Does that help you?
