Wish: F3 behaviour

[Alextp]

Wish at forum.wincmd.ru

How does F3 work in FAR: When you press F3 on a file, viewer is started.
When you press F3 on a folder, size of selected folders is calculated and shown.

In TC to calc sizes of several folders we need to press Space several times. Not as useful as in FAR.

Is FAR feature (pressing F3 on a folder calculates sizes of selected folders) needed here?

It could work like Ctrl+Q on the folder.

Not but i think, it must call lister with plugins that supprts folders such as IEView and VisualDirSize

It's not the same. This way you'll calculate size of all folders in the panel, which is often very slow.

I can view visualdirsize in a separate lister window with this em_command:

Code: Select all

[em_vd]
cmd=cm_list
param=%A 

Now in command line write: em_vd c:\any-directory\ very Important to write the last backslash.

This was reported to kajoj1 (author of VisualDirSize) a time ago. Perhaps he knows how implement it in his plugin. I'm not sure if it is possible, I don't know the plugin interface for lister.

Added:
Sorry, It work with cm_list <path>\ too. But I have the em_command for call it from an external program in combination whit TCMC

i'd like to see that optional (user can select behaviour in wincmd.ini)
also the popup which comes up, if no file is selected while the user presses f3 should be turned of (also in wincmd.ini).
