Suggestion: step size for [Insert] selection

[deckard]

Sometimes I need to select every 5th file in a long list. It would be great to have a "Step size" parameter for the [Insert] key, so that the cursor jumps X number of files after every press of [Insert].

(I have fond memories of this very feature in the music creation program called "Fasttracker 2", if someone happens to remember it. )

Keep up the good work!

This behaviour should be easily scripted with AutoHotkey for example:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
!Insert:: Send {Down 5}{Insert}

Pressing Alt-Insert in TC sends now 4 down keys and one insert.

Cool, thanks for the reply! I'd never even heard of AutoHotkey. There's always something new to learn!

AutoHotkey is something that slowly evolves on our systems to finally replace all utilities we thought are indispensable.

You're absolutely right! I haven't even scratched the surface of AHK coding, I just did some trivial tries and use some scripts I found here or elsewhere, but from all I've seen so far, AHKs possibilities seem to be simply endless

Can't imagine working on my PC without this unobtrousive little Helper sitting in the tray...
