How: Copy tab to other panel and active it by shortcut?

[VimWei]

Hi, I what to use one shortcut to copy current tab (A1) to other pannel (A2), and active it (A2) on the top, but do not override the original tab (B).

A1(*) | B(*)
==>
A1(*) | B, A2(*)


I have tried:
1. Drag the tab A1 to other pannel(A2), or right click tab and select "copy tab to other panel", but I need active A2 manual and use mouse.
2. Use Ctrl + left/right, but A2 replace B.

What should I do?

Does it possible: combine some step to one shortcut? Just like microsoft power automate or ios shortcut.

1. Ctrl I: switch to other panel
2. Ctrl T: duplicate the active tab
3. Ctrl I: switch to original panel
4. Ctrl left/right: Open directory/archive and display it in the target window

VimWei,
Usually Ctrl-Shift-Up is used for that.

In my Extended Menus (see my signature) I use a function like this for that:

Code: Select all

[em_copytab]
cmd=cm_FocusTrg,cm_OpenNewTab,cm_FocusTrg,cm_MatchSrc,cm_FocusTrg
menu=Copy current folder tab to opposite panel

You can put this code in your usercomd.ini file and then assign a shortcut to the em_copytab command

You can leave out the last cm_FocusTrg if you want to stay in the original panel.

This can copy tab to other panel, but not active it.

VimWei,

This can copy tab to other panel, but not active it.

Neither does this:

1. Ctrl I: switch to other panel
2. Ctrl T: duplicate the active tab
3. Ctrl I: switch to original panel
4. Ctrl left/right: Open directory/archive and display it in the target window

Or perhaps you mean Configuration - Options - Folder Tabs - Ctrl+Up opens new tab in foreground.

Thanks! This is exactly what I wanted.
After configure, use Ctrl-Shift-Up to get my want, just your suggestion before, thanks again!
