Ctrl+D the target panel, keep source panel focus?
When I want copy files to a folder in my hotlist, I have to do now is "Tab"+"Ctrl+D"+"Tab"+"F5". Is there a way just to change the folder of the target panel, without moving the cursor to it? Just like Alt+F1 and Alt+F2, say, put Ctrl+Alt+D to activate the other panel's hotlist.
I know there is an option to save the target folder of the hotlist, but this is not convenient enough.

You can add for each entry a second one for opening the folder in the opposite panel:
entry one:
opens c:\temp in the active panel
and the opposite
opens C:\temp in the opposite panel.
You have to use the "cd" command to activate the loading of the targetpath.

Code: Select all
command:c:\temp
Targetpath:
and the opposite
Code: Select all
command:cd
Targetpath:c:\temp

Hm, imagine you just selected some files and want to copy them to a directory you know that its contained in your directory hotlist. Don't you agree that it would be more handy to just press CTRL+ALT+D once than having to TAB to the target panel and back again in those cases? Especially as this key combo is quite easy to type...
I don't consider this as an essential feature, as its only useful in some use-cases (but in these, it surely eases the 'workflow') but a nifty small addition if easy to implement. Something for about point 543 on the wishlist maybe

Hm, nice idea. This limits the feature to specific directories, though. The hotkey would allow a more flexible use of this feature.

What if you could use a key (Control, Alt, Shift etc.) that would tell CTRL-D to change the opposite pane?
It seems that both Shift and Control are used currently to open in a new tab and alt just closes the dialog. Couldn't one of those be changed (or at least have an option) so that if you alt-click or alt-enter on the directory, it open in the opposite pane?

This is also a good idea . But I just tried Ctrl and Shift in the hotlist, they all open the folder in a new TAB in the SAME panel...Sticky wrote:What if you could use a key (Control, Alt, Shift etc.) that would tell CTRL-D to change the opposite pane?
