Hello!
I was just wondering if there is any chance of implemeting this suggestion of mine:
I think that it would be (very) helpful to be able to "override" the default procedures at will.I mean that we could press a keyboard button (ie. "shift") to _stop the program from **loading the tags** _ of the files,and another button (ie. "ctrl") to _force the program to **include the subfolders** _ in the search.And last but not least,it would also bo good if there was a combination of these two,if you know what i mean. (😛)
-:EDIT:-
It also embarasses me the fact that the selected file becomes **grey** every time i edit a field in the tag panel and when i re-click on that file i enter the rename mode.I hope this can be fixed!  
PS:Something i forgot to write in my first post!!! 😛
Great work and keep it **free**.I would be happy to donate a symbolic amount of money to you but unfortunately i'm unable  (not having a credit card!!)

I don't see whats wrong with that, but you can in Menu View \> Customize Columns... leave "Field:" in Filename blank, so when you re-click on file you wont enter rename mode.

I see that i'm misunderstood...
What i mean is that the selected file should remain blue so that you can easily notice which one is selected.Every time i edit a file's tag fields it turns grey and when i look again in the file list i doubt which file i had selected... 
Also what about my first suggestion ? Hasn't anyone seen it yet or is it difficult to imlement ?
**Moderation:** Removed unnecessary bold tag.

You can press the [Esc] key to stop Mp3tag from loading any files and the checkbox Subdirectories at Options \> General or File \> Change directory... to include subdirectories.
Special keyboard shortcuts for options are currently not planned.
Best regards,

Hmmm... 
I can see that i'm not explaining my suggestions clearly and as a result you don't understand what i really mean ☹
The **keyboard shortcuts** are intended for the shell extension (Right Click\>Mp3Tag) on folders and files

That's not my intention.I just tried that and what i did was stop the program from reading the directory contents(!).I just want to stop the program from **loading the tags** (not the directory contents).
If you don't understand why i suggest this, it is because it's very irritating to wait for 3.000 files to load their tags (!) **just to edit a single file's tag**.Therefore, in this case it's much quicker to wait just for the contents to load.

In this case i have to switch this option on and off every time i open Mp3Tag (!) because not all the time do i need to edit subdirectories as well.
All this fuss is made by me just because i use Mp3Tag right from the shell 😉
It may sound funny,but think of the time one loses just to edit such options...
Thanks for your patience 🙂

Sorry, but any "shell extension" features would require a real shell extension. At the moment it's simply a registry key and I don't plan a real shell extension because this would require restarts of Windows on installations.

Ok! I see.I thought that any custom option embedded in the right click context menu is called so ("shell extension").Obviously, u seem to know better what this actually means.Anyway,since my suggestions requires special scripting (\
