I like to change drive by SHIFT + "drive letter"

[zvl_tcm]

Can anybody explain me why the TCM allows only use these drive letters in the settings? changing only for A, C, D, E ,Z? If you need others you HAVE TO CHANGE OR UPDATE YOURSEFL "TOTALCMD.INC" to add another drives? WHY? Is it so hard to add it from the installation start? If that exist and is possible where is the problem to have it there from the start so users can use it? Why we have to edit the file ourseleves to add another drives? I amd not getting it for long time, maybe somebody will explain that to me, but adding few more lines to "TOTALCMD.INC" will not harm anybody, but will help users to create shortcut for every drive letter!

probably I wrote it wrong. If you would like to create shortcut for SHIFT+ "drive letter" to change to that drive by "GoToDrive" command, you only can use these below (which are in "TOTALCMD.INC")

cm_GoToDriveA=2061;Switch to drive A
cm_GoToDriveC=2063;Switch to drive C
cm_GoToDriveD=2064;Switch to drive D
cm_GoToDriveE=2065;Switch to drive E
cm_GoToDriveF=2066;(etc, define your own if)
cm_GoToDriveZ=2086;(you need more drives)

That is harcoded in "TOTALCMD.INC"... so you can use TCM command just for drives above. If you need to create shortcut to jump to drive "S" you have to add the row there for drive "S" with appropriate "command number". Why not have there everything from A to Z from beginning?

Did somebody deleted his post to whom I was answering?

To one's amazemenеt, it is doable.

Let's see how it goes for the l: drive, for instance.

Step 1:
Make a user command (usercmd.ini):

Code: Select all

[em_GotoDriveL]
cmd=cm_SrcOpenDrives L

Step 2:
TC menu: Configuration > Options > Misc.
See ''Redefine hotkeys (Keyboard remapping)" section:
2.1. Check "[✓] Shift +" and then from the drop-down to the right choose "L".
2.2. Procced to the ''Command" field below, and type "em_GotoDriveL" there (or choose the command from the drop-down list to the right)
2.3. [OK]

That's it. Voilà.
From now on, until the end of time, you have Shift+L shortcut combination to switch to the l:\ drive.

Repeat it for the other drives you are interested in.
I have tested it up to L*, until became too lazy to carry on.
You can go further, though.

Edit:

[*] Actually, up to Q (em_GotoDriveQ, cm_SrcOpenDrives Q, Shift+Q)

Step 2 can be simplified to direct editing wincmd.ini:

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
S+L=em_GotoDriveL
S+Q=em_GoToDriveQ

etc

Why complicate simple things?

You don't need add entries to TOTALCMD.INC

This is simplest solution

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
S+A=2061
S+B=2062
S+C=2063
S+D=2064
S+E=2065
S+F=2066
S+G=2067
S+H=2068
S+I=2069
S+J=2070
S+K=2071
S+L=2072
S+M=2073
S+N=2074
S+O=2075
S+P=2076
S+Q=2077
S+R=2078
S+S=2079
S+T=2080
S+U=2081
S+V=2082
S+W=2083
S+X=2084
S+Y=2085
S+Z=2086

You can still like this:

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
S+LEFT=cm_SrcOpenDrives

Press Shift+Left and drive letter or +, *,\.

Thanks all I will try it

Because it used to be the case that most people didn't need it. And later on it became possible to use a parameter with the cm_SrcOpenDrives command (and similar commands).
