select the files. drug them to the other window or press F5 (don't panic , u can cancel this operation). now when u go back to the normal display and press "/" (the one near the num lock, not the other one) the selected files will be reselected . the curser won't move so u will had to find the selected files yourself or if u had just a few files you'll see them right away.
F2.If I select a file after I pressed Ctrl B, how can I return to normal display with the file still selected? In other words, how can I "go to" the file under the cursor?
Or by clicking on the drive button where branch view was initially executed. But again this will bring you back to the initial location but the focus won't be on the file but to the top of the list.Hacker wrote:F2
. Try this: select some files and folders randomly, press Ctrl KeypadMinus, press "/" and the selection is gloriously restored!In the up-coming version of TC we'll have the ability to user-definably store a selection which will eliminate the need to follow the somehow tricky suggestion of TClover. TC, as it is now, has to execute a file operation in order to save a selection and be able to restore it with "/" hence what correctly TClover suggested here.
Well yes, but Panos is talking about an enhancement of this function proposed a long time ago that enables you to "store" a file selection even when leaving a dir, doing something else elsewhere and then returning back.Try this: select some files and folders randomly, press Ctrl KeypadMinus, press "/" and the selection is gloriously restored!
Right, I got that, and I think it is a good idea. My remark was only concerning the statement, that a file operation is needed for remembering the selection for the "/" restoration. Looks like it is not true.Well yes, but Panos is talking about an enhancement of this function proposed a long time ago that enables you to "store" a file selection even when leaving a dir, doing something else elsewhere and then returning back.
