Hotkey to open buttonbar icon on right or left
Is there such a thing? Now I have duplicate buttons for some items to open right or left. But that strategy eats up space.
What do you mean with Open left or right ?
You can make buttons to pull-down a menu
so you only need the space for one button to select your diffrent entries.

On default, most command work on current active panel, no matter if that is the left or the right one.
At least as long as you don't use explicit a cm_LeftXXX or cm_RightXXX command, or have the "Start in" non-empty.
Right click your button, chose Copy and paste here, so someone can help you pointing you in the right direction.
Everything other is wild guessing only.

I have shortcut buttons to several frequently used directories. Some have been modified to open in the right or left panel. It would be convenient to open them in the opposite panel to the active one, but failing that, a choice of which panel to use would be nice.
If there is a method to open a button in the opposite panel to the active one that would simplify things.

For such jobs the Directory Hotlist is the right way and not buttons.tcebob wrote:I have shortcut buttons to several frequently used directories.

Code: Select all
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S "/R=C:\Program Files\"

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
Code: Select all
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O "
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cd ""
C:\Totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE,1
cd C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files

Yes, %COMMANDER_EXE% /O works but with lag (no matter your are notice or not, usually it is noticeable when the CPU usage is too high)tcebob wrote:I'll save that but right now the /o is working fine.
The method i have provided is documented in TC's help at the page titled "Dialog box: Configuration - Change button bar"
Start path: Determines the path to be set before the program is started. If no path is given, then the path of the source window is set.
Important: If the command (given in the command box) is cd drive:\directory, then the path given in this edit box is set in the other window! This allows to set both paths (source and target) at the same time.
ts4242,
If I create a button in the Button Bar as follows:
and click it, then
1. the cursor disappears
2. pressing Down makes the cursor visible on the first dir in Program Files
3. pressing Alt-Left goes one dir back in the history but in the opposite panel (not Program Files but the one that was originally active).
Can anyone confirm?
EDIT: Can't reproduce with clean INI.
EDIT2: Can't even reproduce with usual INI now.

This seems to only happen the FIRST time you do it on a given drive - if you go into a subdir and back to the root again, then cd. doesn't add [..] to the file panel.but another strange thing happen, cd . always show parent dir [..] and put the cursor on it, even if the option "Sow parent dir [..] also in root of drive" unchecked

BTW: [..] disappear if the file panel refreshed by any means e.g. pressing F2 or minimize/restore TC window
