Mystery of the day: I'm using Python 2.6. My program uses

I use this program repeatedly. Up to a few hours ago, the navigation
window opened with a full array of columns, including name and date.
Once I mistakenly typed control-F (Find) instead of letters (for the
file). Now the navigation window opens with only one column, the name
column.
Control-F or Command-F?
(I assume Mac's still use the Command key, ⌘ -- it's been many years
since I've had a Mac.)
The problem is there in my program, or in the IDLE interpreter, or in
a terminal Python interpreter -- just using the two lines, the import
statement and the askopenfilename.
I expect that this is Mac-specific behaviour. On Linux, at least, I don't
get multiple columns at all, and Control-F does nothing.
I expect that the file dialog box you see is the native Mac open file dialog,
and Ctrl-F (or Cmd-F) doesn't do Find inside the dialog, but changes the
dialog settings, which are then remembered for the next time. Have you tried
hitting Ctrl-F again to see if it toggles the change?
You may need to ask some Mac experts how to control the open file dialog
settings.
