How can I open directory in other panel and activate it

[toybear1999]

Hi,

There is a command to open a new tab in the other panel's background with the current directory( cm_OpenDirinNewTabOther ), but not a command to open it and activate it at once. I'd really like to be able to do that as well. Right now it's a four-step process: open tab in other panel's background, tab over to other panel, activate the correct tab, tab over to original panel.

Appreciate your help!

Try this:
- add a button with command
"%commander_path%/totalcmd.exe" /O /T /R="%P" /P=L

It must work, according with help file.

Try this:
- add a button with command
"%commander_path%/totalcmd.exe" /O /T /R="%P" /P=L

It must work, according with help file.

It should be:

Code: Select all

Command:    "%commander_path%/totalcmd.exe"
Parameters: /O /T /S /R="%P" /P=R

Except that it does not work because the /S switch does not change the behavior of the /P= switch.

It works very well. very thanks for your kindly help. But how can I assign a shortkey such as "Ctrl+Down' to this command?

Appreciate your help again.

toybear1999, you should pack this command to user-command (em_command) in order to assign a hotkey for it.
Open Configuration - Misc., choose desired hotkey, click "..." button to open command browser (Choose command window), choose usercmd.ini and create new command with same contents as above. Then apply all.

You may remove parameter /P=R if you don't need a half-working active panel switching. However you can create two user-commands activating its panel (one with /P=L and one with /P=R) and call desired one. Also, you can check which panel is active and call right one using e.g. my TCFS2.

Very very thanks for your help. It works now. I create two commands as your advised. They works very well.

This is my custom command, and it’s almost perfect, except that I still need to press the Tab key once.

Code: Select all

[em_OpenDirInNewTabOther]
cmd=%COMMANDER_EXE%
param=/A /T /O /S /R="%P%N" 

How can i check which panel is active with tcfs2?
I want to open in other panel and set focus to the target panel
Can the parameters dynamically return based on the execution of tcfs2?
param=/A /T /O /S /R="%P%N" /P=L
or
param=/A /T /O /S /R="%P%N" /P=R

How about using this:

Code: Select all

[em_OpenDirInNewTabOther]
cmd=cm_OpenNewTabOther,cm_FocusTrg

Or if you want to open the dir under the cursor in the tab:

Code: Select all

[em_OpenDirInNewTabOther]
cmd=cm_OpenDirInNewTabOther,cm_FocusTrg

It works well!
For me, I prefer the following command.

Code: Select all

[em_OpenDirInNewTabOther]
cmd=%COMMANDER_EXE%
param=/A /O /T /S /R="%P%N"


[em_OpenDirInNewTabtarget]
cmd=em_OpenDirInNewTabOther,cm_wait 200,cm_FocusTrg
