IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Give me option to make a search type the default

Please give me the option to make my preferred search tool (CTRL+H) search tab panel the default to appear when pressing CTRL+H.


Use Case:

I currently activate "IBM i Search", "Remote Search" and "File Search" (the tabs appear in this order). In most cases pressing CTRL+H brings the search tool up with "File Search" tab the one in focus. This is regardless of the location in RDP I initiate the tool from. The very first use of CTRL+H will cause the search tool to focus on the "IBM i Search" tab. Once I open a member in LPEX and press CTRL+H the search tool always opens with the "File Search" tab in focus.

    This RFE has been re-evaluated.  Due to the relatively low number of votes, this RFE is now being declined.
