Shift+F7 - strange behavior

[MarcinW]

Steps to reproduce:

1) select any file
2) press Shift+F7
3) press Esc
4) selection is moved to the opposite panel

I suppose that moving the selection is not intentional in case of cancelling the operation.

I have considered moving the focus back, but decided against it for consistency between OK and Cancel.

What do other users think?

For me, leaving the focus in the initial panel would be more consistent with the way I would use this. So, if I use Shift-F7 from the right panel to create a new folder in the left panel, I would expect the focus to stay in the right panel.

Mmh, for me, cancelling an operation should restore the previous state, in this case returning the focus to the panel it was before - i.e. when pressing Shift+F7 when the left panel is active, the left panel should have the focus after cancelling but the right panel may have the focus when the operation is executed.

However, I don't think that it's a big deal because the opposite panel is just a TAB away .

Since nothing is done in the other panel in such case, I would like it to be like that:

I agree, when cancelling then it should not have any effect such as focus change.

I think that the focus should stay on the source, but the cursor in the target side should be moved to the new directory, so that a press on Tab will highlight the new dir.

I agree with cancel shouldn't change the focus.

There is a workaround by creating the following extended command and assign <Shift+F7> to it

Code: Select all

[em_MkDirOther]
cmd=cm_MkDirOther, cm_FocusTrg
menu=Make directory in target panel
button=wcmicons.dll,29

OK, the cursor is now returned to the source when you press ESC in beta 5!

Furthermore, the dialog will be shown over the panel in which the directory will be created. Not centered, but moved a bit to the center of the main window.

This feature with de-centered dialog window is great!

Original problem fixed.

Confirm fixed.

Much more intuitive in TC 9.20b5

Good addition, but it is not take panel arrangement into account viewtopic.php?p=342190#342190
