[WISH]Focus a hovered tab automatically after certern time

Post by *zhv »

I hope TC can switch to focus automatically the tab my mouse curse hovers on after certern time - intend to save a left single click.

e.g.:
TabTimer=1000, 1000ms (1 second = 1000 ms)
TabTimer=-1, disable this function.

Would be more convenient for mouse users.
And, perhaps might also prolong the mouse's life :)

This will interfere the tooltip display.
Tooltip is useful to display the whole path of an inactive tab.

1000=1sec means : displaying the tab tooltip will automatically select this tab... bad cards if this one is a slow network drive or a ftp connection.

I need at least 5000=5sec to overcome this. This means I have to hover 5 sec over a tab to select it ... no improvement at all IMHO.

This may be interesting during Drag&Drop operations.
No tool tip available, if the left mouse button is pressed!

The best medicine for a mouse life, is to use the keyboard. :wink:

Seems that really interfere something :?

This really works well in multi-tabbed browsers, however.

But sometimes keyboard is not the best choice, especially when you're shuttling between TC work which can be done by mouse or by keyboard and other work which must need a mouse - in that case keeping mouse in hand to do all the work is considerable.

At least in FireFox during Drag&Drop operations only.

I support this request as a alternative for my favourite behaviour: Scroll the directoy-tabs with (right mouseclick and ) mousewheel.

As far I know, the tooltip for Directory-Tabs are shown only for non-activated tabs but never for the current.
