Total Commander

Just a small wish, not of high importance.

Is it possible to add shortcuts in front of the entries of the directory history popup, for easier navigation. It can run from 1 to 9 then a-z, or whatever scheme suits the best. It can enable direct going on the entry from the keyboard.

If you add ampersand before some character of item name, this character will be underscored as in usual menu and will be used as shortcut character.

E.g. give following names to items:

&Temp Folder
&1 Documents
Pictures\t&2

Result will be the following:

Temp Folder
1 Documents
Pictures              2

And shortcut keys will be T, 1, 2.

Usually I use first and last ways (for the divider \t I use tab character copied from Notepad - in this case part of name after tab will be shown in right part of menu after tabulator - as hotkeys like Alt+F5 in main TC menu).

In order to see underscores you need to disable hiding of such marks in your OS (usually it is enabled by default).

MVV,

add ampersand before some character of item name

Even if it was feasible to rename directories just for the directory history, it does not work that way, ampersands are kept.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood topic a bit, my post was about dir hotlist and not about dir history list.

But I think that for history dirlist it will be easy to show shortcut column (as for Alt+F5 in File menu e.g.) and to fill it with letters/numbers in some order. Even more, I think it will be great to have localized string with character order for this task - e.g. for English it may be alphabetic string or something like "1234567890qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm".

Opera's bookmarks do repeating alphanumeric

Somesite 1
Somesite 2
Somesite 3
Somesite 4
Somesite 5
Somesite 6
Somesite 7
Somesite 8 :: not sure if it would go to S or 8 in this case.

For the closed page list (TrashCan)
It does, 1 thru to 0 for the first 10 closed tabs, and then starts the repeating AlphaNumeric: which uses the least used letter/number as far as I know.

Like opera's trashcan i think is good solution, with optional support for defining the alphanumeric sequence lime MVV suggeseted.
