I want to list all items created by a specific author. How to do it?
In general, how to search a specific field?

Oh right. Is there a keyboard shortcut to access it?

No :

But there's a

for such a shortcut.

Thanks. Hopefully they add a keyboard shortcut to it.

One slight annoyance is that to obtain the list of items created by someone, on the main window, you have to save the search.

Put the quick search in Title, Creator, Year mode and type in a name.

(But if you want more control you can also just leave a saved search in the left-hand pane and double-click it to edit it.)

dstillman, thanks! That's brilliant. I just leave a saved search there for when I need it and customize it on the spot.
