(maybe not a bug) CTRL+A doesn't work in TC's command line

[Bluestar]

Hi all!

A lots of time it would be nice to select the full typed text in Total Commander's command line on the bottom, but right now the only way to do that is by mouse...
In general the CTRL+A hotkey works almost everywhere in TC, is there any technical reason why it is disabled/not implemented(?) on the command line combobox?

Btw it affects almost every version that i've used in the past, including the latest 7.55a downto 6.52 & 4.51, which are pretty old (tested them just for curiosity)...

OS: Win7 / WinXP SP3, so guess its os independent

Command line, fields of copy/move dialogs etc... There are a lot of places where Ctrl+A doesn't work. Standard Windows controls (Delphi - too) doesn't allow to select all text by Ctrl+A...

You are right, but there's an easy way to add a Ctrl+A functionality to a project in Delphi, using the ComboBoxKeyDown event, for example:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.ComboBox1KeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState);
begin
  if (Key = Ord('A')) and (ssCtrl in Shift) then begin
    TComboBox(Sender).SelectAll;
    Key := 0;
  end;
end;

(anyway the Ctrl+A works fine in the fields of copy/move dialogs there, just as it works in the New Directory popup window's combobox too)

Just wait for 7.56

Nice, it works fine in 7.56! Thanks for the addition of this little but really useful feature!

From where you got TC 7.56, it is not released yet?

Let Me Google That for you : "Total Commander 7.56" -7.55

About 23,700 results (0.18 seconds)

One chosen at random, looks hacked though, binary up to 00070:

Code: Select all

vs. 7.55a

Code: Select all

Besides this, the totalcmd.exe is digitally signed, so i guess its not hacked at all...
By the way it can be found in several places.

So you say its not an official version yet? 'Cause that way i'd rather use the good ol' 7.55a 'till v7.56 shows up on ghisler.com or any other trusted source.

So you say its not an official version yet?

No it is not - somehow this pre realease have leaked to the net - it is still in beta test.

[Bluestar]

Now it can be found on ghisler.com! Great!

Tested and confirmed.

Ctrl+A in the T.C. commandline selects everything that has been typed on the commandline.

Total Commander 7.56a
Windows 7 Enterprise, 32-bit

Kind regards,
