But if u presse tab by mistake, the focus went to the search box, and both the key shortcuts don't work no more. If you Shift+Tab back, it still doesn't work. because now your focus is on the widget in the path field. Faaak windows. Faaaking idiotic in every way.

Idiotic user interface design.
- You don't know what the check mark is for.
- You don't know if check mark can is a button or not. (Click it sometimes do nothing, depending on your current audio config.)
- You don't know what the mic icon is for. Don't know if it can be clicked.
The check mark is actually a on/off toggle button. It should be 2 check mark boxes, one labled On, the other Off, with current state checked.
