Move tab to first position on the panel

[igarny]

Hi guys,

Please tell, if there is any way to tell TC to move a tab to the left multiple times in a single command. The ultimate goal is to move a tab to the 1st position in the active panel.
I know the command to move the tab to the left: cm_MoveTabLeft
but I also understand that this command doesn't accept parameters from this post of @Petermad: viewtopic.php?t=76713
which would practically enable me to jump to the 1st position directly from the first call of the function...

So I was wondering, if there is some other solution = script, which would amend the missing function and obsolete a request for a feature implementation

Many thanks for the great support!

Yes, this can be done correctly using TCFS2 + TCFS2Tools:

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_PATH%\Addons\TCFS2\TCFS2.exe /ef loop(if(tcm(65580+tcm(65552)),tcm(3015)+1))

But if you don't want to rack your brain, you can execute any number of commands separated by commas:
3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,...

broken... because of the war, my guess

3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,...

Doesn't work directly in the Menu config file:

Code: Select all

  MENUITEM "Move Tab to 1st position\tCtrl+PgUp", 3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015

The war has nothing to do with it. The hosting chosen is lousy. Download here: TCFS2 and TCFS2Tools.

Doesn't work directly in the Menu config file:

MNU doesn't support command combinations. There you need to use em_ with this combination.

The dirty way is to just make a multi-command like this in your usercmd.ini file

Code: Select all

[em_movetabtostart]
cmd=3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015

em_movetabtostart can then be used in the menu and in buttons or for a keyboard shortcut

In fact, you are repeating what has already been suggested.

[petermad]

2Fla$her
Not excactly - it was suggested to use:

Code: Select all

  MENUITEM "Move Tab to 1st position\tCtrl+PgUp", 3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015

Which won'r work since TC doesn't support multi-commands directly in the Menu - hence the suggestion to put the multicommand in an em_command that can be used in the Menu:

Code: Select all

  MENUITEM "Move Tab to 1st position\tCtrl+PgUp", em_movetabtostart

[Fla$her]

it was suggested to use:

Who suggested it? Where? It was offered exactly what you repeated:

MNU doesn't support command combinations. There you need to use em_ with this combination.

[petermad]

MNU doesn't support command combinations. There you need to use em_ with this combination.

Sorry, I overlooked that line Anyway: "There you need to use em_" might not mean much to the reader, so I don't think my more elaborate explanation of the use of em_ does any harm...

[Fla$her]

so I don't think my more elaborate explanation of the use of em_ does any harm...

I don't consider it a harm in any way. Just you started as if it wasn't offered above. I did not decipher it, because I believe that if a person understands the essence of cm_ and talks about scripts, then there should be no problems with em_.

to petermad

Code: Select all

[em_movetabtostart]
cmd=3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,3015,

The last comma at the end of the cmd= line triggers an error message.
If you remove the last comma, all is fine

Thanks - I have now edited my previous message.

Using TCFS2 and TCFS2Tools:

Code: Select all

TCFS2 /ef "if(tcm(tt_LeftTabIndex+R_isActive), loop(tcm(tt_LeftTabIndex+R_isActive)-1 + tcm(3015)))"

No redundant calls to command 3015.

Or, so as not to bother TC with repeated queries about the index of the active tab:

Code: Select all

TCFS2 /ef "varset(1,tcm(tt_LeftTabIndex+R_isActive)) if(varget(1), loop(@-varget(1)-1 + tcm(3015)))"

[Fla$her]

No redundant calls to command 3015.

I always thought that indexing in TCFS2Tools always starts with 0. Made smarter in my shorter no-frills command.

I think it would also be useful to share the inverse command:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Addons\TCFS2\TCFS2.exe /ef loop(if(tcm(65580+tcm(65552))+1<tcm(65582+tcm(65552)),tcm(3016)+1))

wciconex.dll,300
Move the active tab to the end

Move tab to end position on the panel:

Code: Select all

TCFS2 /ef "varset(1,tcm(tt_LeftTabCount+R_isActive)-1-tcm(tt_LeftTabIndex+R_isActive)) if(varget(1), loop(@-varget(1)-1 + tcm(3016)))"
