Behaviour change for cm_GoToDir

[tony23]

Not sure if this is a bug or an intended change in version 11.

I have a keyboard remapping configured so that ENTER uses the cm_GoToDir command. This is to avoid running or opening files if I accidentaly press enter when they are selected.
Up to version 10.52 this has been working fine, but in version 11 having this remapping defined prevents changing drives using the Alt+F1 or Alt+F2 shortcuts.

Steps to reproduce:
1. define a keyboard mapping for ENTER and link it to cm_GoToDir
2. press Alt+F1 or Alt+F2 to select the drive
3. press enter. Instead of changing the drive it will open the selected folder in the focused pane.

Thanks

It's probably due to this fix:
19.06.23 Fixed: Some redefined hotkeys like Ctrl+L were ignored when the cursor wasn't in one of the file lists. Instead, the original command of that hotkey was executed (32/64)

It's difficult to decide which hotkeys should only work while in a file panel, and which should work also in the command line, drive lists etc.

See: https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=79864 and https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=80054 - same issue.

Currently the following redefined hotkeys are limited to the file panels when defined alone or with shift:
cursor left
cursor right
cursor up
cursor down
page up
page down
home
end
delete
backspace

I will add Enter to that list too. Any others I should add?

[petermad]

Perhaps add:
Tab
Space
Insert

08.09.23 Fixed: Many user-defined hotkeys were restricted to work only in the two file panels, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+Home (changed after 10.52) (32/64)

Not quite fixed.

If Enter is remapped to cm_GoToDir then Enter still does not work in the drive combobox.

It looks like I added the extra keys return, tab, space and insert only to the 32-bit version (it works correctly there).
Can you confirm that?

Btw, the bugfix you quoted is about an entirely different issue:
Hotkeys like Ctrl+Alt+Home ONLY worked in the two panels, but now also work again in the command line.

only to the 32-bit version (it works correctly there).
Can you confirm that?

Confirmed - I have only tested Enter.

Btw, the bugfix you quoted is about an entirely different issue:

I see - So there is actually no entry in history for the fix (32bit so far) for the bug in this topic?

[ghisler(Author)]

Indeed there isn't - I experimented with a fix in 32-bit, but didn't port it over to 64-bit yet because I asked in the forum whether I should add more exceptions, and then didn't get back to this fix.

06.10.23 Fixed: User-defined hotkeys: Handle hotkeys Enter, Tab, Space or Insert in the command line and drive comboboxes as if they were not redefined (64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.02rc2
