Feature suggestion: Shift+F7

[CADweazle]

Hi Chris,

just a little suggestion:

When the select bar is over a directory and you press "Shift+F7", the directoryname under the bar should be offered as the new directoryname.
(similar to Shift+F4).
Would be very useful and in line with actual behaviour of "Shift+F4"

Bye, Karl

Once upon - a long ago!
(Couldn't find it, 'cause two letter Words are not searchable in this forum)
Seems, that it has been forgotten??

Shouldn't be such a great thing to add imho.
Let's keep the fingers crossed Flint!

Support!

Suupport, too.

TC7 will support that with F7 directly - the name of the directory under the cursor will be suggested, but it's selected so it will be overtyped if the user wants to enter some other name manually.

[CADweazle]

Wow!
Thank you very much in advance!!!

Workaround until then with Autohotkey:

Code: Select all

+f7::
if not winactive ("ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD") 
   return
send, +{f6}+{del}{esc}{f7}+{ins}
return

Works with foldernames, but also with filenames, if a file is under the cursor.
Restriction: It does not work within archives.

In .zip it works...
Anyway, your script will eat all Shift-F7 keypresses outside of TC as the ~ is missing.

Try this one instead, it includes the latest additions to AHK syntax and is more reliable and faster:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
+f7::
SendInput, +{f6}+{del}{esc}{f7}+{ins}+{home}
Return

... and wait for the F7 dialog is highly recommended.
... and dont forget to save amd restore the clipboard contents.

I prefer the "integrated" solution too, particularly, when the next release is so close
But anyway, thanks to Franz Müller and icfu for their tips!!

...and don't forget to brush your teeth in the morning and evening and don't leave home without an umbrella.

@CADweazle:
Sure, but do you really expect a TC release before christmas? Good luck then.

Are you sure???

TC 7 was planned to be released in 2005 and we are in May 2006 now with just the first alpha out (afaik)...

So, let me tell it like this:
I am sure that Duke Nukem Forever will be released before TC 7.

alpha 3

I am sure that Duke Nukem Forever will be released before TC 7.

The main problem of delayed releases are growing expectations imho. This applies to both the game and TC 7.
