How can I modify Ctrl+Home (go to parent) to single Home-key?

[BobbyNeal]

Greetings! Currently, the hotkey to navigate to the parent directory ('..') is configured as Ctrl + Home. How can I modify it to be simply the Home key? As of now, pressing Home directs me to the initial item in the folder, which corresponds to the first folder or file beneath '..'.

Hi BobbyNeal,
Well, in the default configuration, Home navigates to "..", and Ctrl-Home does the same (because Home was pressed), so if it's different for you, you must have redefined those shortcuts yourself. To redefine them back, go to Configuration - Options - Misc.

By default both Home and Ctrl+Home goes to the [..] entry.

Are you sure you have not remapped the Home key yourself via "Options" -> "Misc." -> "Redefine horkeys (keyboard remapping)" - you can click the small button wit a down arrow to see all user assigned hotkeys.

Notice that the command cm_GoToFirstEntry does NOT take you to [..], but takes you to the first folder OR file. My guess is that you have remapped the Home key to cm_GoToFirstEntry.

Check your wincmd.ini file whether you have a section [Shortcuts] with the entry: HOME=cm_GoToFirstEntry - if you do, then just delete that entry and restart TC.

hi, a bit different question, but related to this, since I found this thread while searching for a solution to my idea.
I'd like to have left and right arrow keys, taking me to the first and last item within folder.
right is easy, I've remapped it to "cm_GoToLast"
left I can't figure out, how it could behave like home key press is behaving, closest is the "cm_GoToFirstEntry", but I want it to go to "..", so it behaves exactly like when I press home. Is it possible?

Try this:

There is a better solution: Use the option
SpecialCursorMovement=1
in wincmd.ini section [Configuration]
There are more options, just look for SpecialCursorMovement in the help section 4b, N-Z.

Make an em_command like this in your usercmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[em_GoToFirstEntry]
cmd=cm_GoToFirstEntry,cm_GotoPrev

and then assign em_GoToFirstEntry to the key you want.

works like a charm, thanks!
