Enter activates command line not pane

Post by *Suha Aktan »

Even one of the panes has the focus, pressing Enter runs the string in the command line, if any.

Steps:
  • 1- Select a file
    2- Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (command line gets "path\file.ext")
    3- Select another file
    4- Press Enter
    5- Although the latter file has the focus, the first file (that is in the command line) runs.
TC6 is behaving in the same manner, also.

I am sure this is by design.

If you want to run a program from the panel while the command line is not empty, you can either use the context menu (right click the file or press Shift+F10 or use the command cm_ContextMenu), OR you can use a button with the internal command cm_Return

Yes, this is by design. The Commanders for DOS also worked this way.

Or make sure to delete the command line before you want to run another file with Enter on it.
Can do this easily by Ctrl+Y.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
