Part A - Two Shortcuts
The suggestion is to make

Code: Select all

Ctrl+Alt+F5 (Pack files to current directory)
Shift+Ctrl+Alt+F5 (Pack to current dir, del. original)
default shortcuts even without

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts] 
CA+F5=cm_PackFiles
CAS+F5=cm_PackFiles
inside the wincmd.ini.


Part B - (keyboard/tasten).txt (after Part A is done)
Add these following missing shortcuts:

ALT+X - Exit | Minimize (with option MinimizeOnClose, see help)

Alt+F6 <-> Alt+F9 are both including but ALT+SHIFT+F6 is missing, so ALT+SHIFT+F9 - Test archives for integrity
should be instead
ALT+SHIFT+F6 - Test archives for integrity (use Alt+SHIFT+F9 on Windows 95)
ALT+SHIFT+F9 - Same as ALT+SHIFT+F6 (because ALT+SHIFT+F6 is broken on Windows 95)


ALT+LeftClick - Shows the property Dialog of a file IF "open files & directories with a single click" is turned on
(to have this documented somewhere else then just some random forum post | or add it at least to the helpfile?)

ALT+SPACE - Show the system context menu of TC

The Shortcuts from Part A


Last but not least, in the english keyboard.txt file the width for the shortcuts is 24 characters but in the german tasten.txt file its only 14 :!:
which leads to explanations of shortcuts starting on the line AFTER the shortcut (see example below) can this please be fixed :?:

Code: Select all

Key                    Action
ALT+SHIFT+F11          Focus the button bar to use it with the keyboard

Taste          Wirkung
ALT+UMSCH+F11
               Buttonbar fokussieren (zum Benutzen mit der Tastatur)
TIA and HTH :D

I would offer differently: make separate commands for archiving in the current folder (without attaching to CTRL), for example:

Code: Select all

cm_PackFilesCurDir - pack files in current directory
cm_PackFilesCurDirDel - pack files in current directory and del original
Or make the parameters to the main command cm_PackFiles.
So that you can make a button with such a command without pressing CTRL and for use in conjunction of the other сommands.

Please make a new thread for your suggestion as this thread is about a 19 year old behaviour that should finally be made offically

Code: Select all

27.10.04 Release Total Commander 6.50 Beta 3
26.10.04   Added: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F5 (when assigned manually to cm_packfiles) opens pack dialog for moving to archive in same dir
and wouldnt need code change.
