Total Commander

Still no answer by Mr.Ghisler about this topic ? (I'm so sad)

Probably it would be much more convenient and faster to get response - if the same wording of the problem you would create and in the BUGs sub-forum... Or move this topic there...

Maybe, but technically it's just a request for a future implementation, not a bug
It is just relevant for me (for me only ?) but it is not a malfunction of the program.

Thanks for implementing this:

However, I am a bit surprised by how you implemented it. That is, by a hard coded keyboard shortcut instead of when the function is activated again while already active.

This, for example, doesn't work: cm_SrcTabsList,cm_SrcTabsList
And suppose, instead of Ctrl+Shift+A, you assign Ctrl+Shift+B to start cm_SrcTabsList. Then, pressing Ctrl+Shift+B twice doesn't work.

Considering how many troubles it caused with the repeated press of the rename hotkey (default Shift+F6) I have decided to hard code the hotkey.

Am I right that I don't see the explanation of this hardcoded shortcut in the help system just because it's not yet added?

P.S. WHY shortcuts are not listed in pure table view (Clearly defined columns, with a distinct separation. Like Excel) - but
in some pseudo TAB-oriented list? https://ibb.co/p2kMNRb Don't you think this "intercolumnar" position is too narrow?
Many explanations simply “hurt the eye” because they are drawn too "far-fetched" to the shortcut itself.

How bad it looks depends on your System setting for font and scaling - with default values it looks like this: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/keyboardhelp.png

But I admit that the left column should be made wider.

they are by default completely.

But I admit that the left column should be made wider.

Not a simply wider, but overall concept should be transformed into a real table view.
With clearly visible cells, columns, rows. Like Excel table.

they are by default completely.

Hmm, how come the font is so much bigger on your screenshot, than on mine?

I don't know....

And still MAIN question remains unanswered:

Thanks. It's useful. (Ctrl+Shift+A, Shift+*, Esc works furthermore)

It's also described in the help now in RC2:
F1 -> 3a. User interface -> Folder tabs:

Use Ctrl+Shift+A to show the list of all open tabs as a menu (as in the Chrome browser). Pressing Ctrl+Shift+A again switches between displaying the tab title and tab directory.

I will add a new parameter 1 to all cm_*TabsList commands to open the list directly with the paths.

I am talking about FULL keyboard info inside Operation - Keyboard layout topic.
IMHO it' should be Obvious that for ALL supported shortcuts should exists ONE specific help topic.
And what about a REAL table representation of this mentioned topic? Current textual view is not
easy readable. You should use strictly rows/columns and not TAB-oriented text only....

Very good new feature. Thanks

I'm also adding another parameter 2 which immediately opens quick search. The search string starts with * when combined with parameter 1.
