Total Commander

I often compareDirs (cm_CompareDirs). Then to restore previous situation (eg. display all files then unselect all files on both panels) I have too many operations to do : 1) cm_LeftAllFiles 2) cm_RightAllFiles 3) goto left panel 4) cm_ClearAll (left panel) 5) goto right panel 6) cm_ClearAll (right panel).
I'd wish a solution to minimize the number of these operations.
I see 3 possibilities :
1) to be able to execute many internal commands at once (eg. in command line enter "cm_LeftAllFiles cm_RightAllFiles cm_FocusLeft cm_ClearAll cm_FocusRight cm_ClearAll"). One would be able to create a usercmd which contains all these internal commands.
2) to have cm_bothXXXX similar to all internal commands cm_leftXXXX but for the two panels
3) to have a flag (a bit like cm_SyncChangeDir), say cm_bothToggle. If on, cm_leftXXXX acts like cm_leftXXXX followed by cm_rightXXXX

What do you think ?

1. TC won't execute more than 1 command simultaneously, because of risk of using same files and interference of their actions.
2. maybe, but than we should check if two deifferent folders are selected
3. don't understand you, what is it for?

jjk,
Well, for now we use AutoHotkey for such tasks.

Yes, I tried code like this : It works with Alt-N as AHK hotkey. With a Ctrl hotkey, here it works bad (it runs on each tab).

Could you add
1) a system of usercmd which executes two or more internal commands in a row (separated by a blank)
2) cm_bothPanesXXXX for each ad hoc cm_scrXXXX

2Sosna What I ask is only for cm_srcXXXX related to display, then no risk of interference.

With cm_SyncChangeDir on, actually you go to the same subdir on both panes. With cm_bothToggle, while it is on, we could have the same display (same filter, same agencement of columns, same order of sort,...) on both panes. That is, the src display (filetr, sort...) would be applied automatically to other pane.
