CD command improvement

Post by *Razvan Popov »

Hi all,
I know this might be kind of late in the game, but I have a suggestion that might help a lot of people that have complicated folder trees to navigate:
CD command may support aliases for various paths. For example:
Define plt = c:\tools\sources\core\database\platform\
And instead of typing 'cd c:\tools\sources\core\database\platform\' to go to this folder, just type 'CD plt'.

I know you can do something similar using the menu on the * button, however if you have a lot of such 'aliases' it would become hard to find them in the menu.
This brings me to another ideea, to the same purpose: maybe it would be a good idea be possible to attach a name for each menu option and a way to execute that option by typing something in the command line like
'go menuItem' or something like this. This feature seems a little bit more flexible than the first one.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
