list right and left history (of directories) backwards
Dear developers,
I'd like to suggest a feature to enhance the user experience. I searched the forum and I could not find any answer, so here you go:
Suggestion: List the folders in the history pull-down menus backward.
Current behavior: The list is listed from bottom (most recent) to top (oldest).
Subjective opinion: In my settings I use a lot of predefined tabs and usually, I just need to jump a few (1-3) paths backwards. When using the history menu, I mostly have to move the mouse to the end of the list to select the item. The same thing using the keyboard: alt&down then down-down-down-<15 times>-enter. That is a waste of keystrokes and mouse movement.
Thank you for listening!
EDIT: The note about the keystrokes is not relevant so much: I forgot the mouse movement <up>. I also use it, when I remember.

If they "more often go back only a few dirs", then it means more mouse movement in the current settings (top=oldest, bottom=newest).

I guess for most users its better as it is now because they will more often want to go back only a few dirs in history.
Thank you, HolgerK!
After searching the Internet for "total commander ReverseHistory", this came up, too:

I hoped to find a list of hidden settings parameters for TC...
