Is there a way to select a file and run it all with the keyboard?

Post by *kms820619 »

For example
Select the 4 xlsx files below and click the [Open] item in the menu that appears after right-clicking to complete the selected file.

1.xlsx
2.xlsx
3.xlsx
4.xlsx


I would like to use the keyboard instead of right-clicking the mouse.

Is there a way to execute all the selected files by using keyboard shortcuts?

Use the standard Windows keyboard shortcut Shift+F10 to open the context menu - or if your keybord has a context menu key, then use that (it is usually located to the left of the right Ctrl key)

It's best to press my shortcut once and run the entire selected file, but running a menu on the keyboard is also a decent way to do it.
Thank you for giving me some useful tips.

if you want to run "regular" files on the drive using default system applications,you could use TCBL or a power shell script.
A) Define a user command
B) assign it to a hotkey.

with tcbl:

Code: Select all

--em_runall --
command: <path to>tcbl.exe
params:%L start $n /b $f
