Minor bug? CTRL+P-ENTER -> Command Box CTRL+X

Post by *MK2k »

Hi,

after years of using TotalCommander I got used to some keyboard shortcuts in order to get the full path to a file, this is what I do:

1. select the file
2. press CTRL+P-ENTER which pastes the full path to the directory and concatenates the filename to it (which is the CTRL+ENTER part)
3. click into the command box (the whole text is already selected)
4. press CTRL+X in order to get the full path to the file and empty the command box

Now, if I do the same steps a second time, a space character gets inserted between the path to directory and the filename (which is the bug I'd like to report here).

This does NOT happen, if I replace step 4 with CTRL+C, DEL.

That's what you get when using novelties like Ctrl+X, it does not happen with good old Shift+Del. ;)

Btw, you can replace step 2 by Ctrl+Shift+Enter. It puts the whole path to current file (including file name) to command line. And unlike your Ctrl+P-Enter, it plays nice also with file names containing spaces. E.g. I get things like c:\Program Files\"Windows Media Player" when using your method.
