Open Lister with specific plugin via keyboard

Post by *LionTech »

I know I can open the lister with Ctrl+Q (default) in the opposite panel and as a separate window with F3 (default)

But is there a way to open the lister (with a different keyboard shortcut) and a specific plugin?

For example (not the use case I'm trying to solve):

When there are 2 plugins that show *.DLL files, e.g. PE information, and another that shows the embedded resources, Ctrl+XXX would open one view while Ctrl+YYY would open the other.

You can assign different hotkeys for different views by adding parameters - plugin name as displayed in Lister title bar - to cm_List command, e.g.
cm_List /S=L:Pfileinfo
cm_List /S=L:Ppeviewer

Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

EDIT: Well, not quite. It works for the Lister but how do I enable Quick View in the opposite panel with a specific plugin. Also, a toolbar button works but a keyboard shortcut refuses to work, for now.

Support++ (cm_QuickView /S=L:PPEViewer)

For now, this can be done by switching to the next plugin:

Code: Select all

TCFS2.exe /ef tcm(304) tcm(4006) send(4) tcm(4005)
