What's wrong here? Or for example: LOADSELECTION ".\temp.txt",cm_Delete

You cannot use commands like LOADSELECTION in a multiple command. You have to make an em_command containing the LOADSELECTION and then chain the em_command.

...but I can still use cd. What is the difference?


and em_command supports chain of command?

cd is an exception - added later.

08.03.22 Added: Button bar, Start menu: command "cd" can now be combined with internal commands, but the path must be in double quotes, e.g. cm_SrcShort,cd "c:\Windows" (32/64)

17.02.13 Added: Support for multiple internal (cm_xyz) or user-defined (em_xyz) commands on a single button or start menu command: Separate by a comma, e.g. cm_SelectAll,cm_Copy. Not all commands can be chained this way! (32/64)

You can also place one or more of Total Commander's internal menu commands here comma-separated. Just click on the button with the magnifying glass and choose a command from the dialog box "Choose command".
Can be combined with cd command (change directory) with the path in double quotes.
Example for multiple commands: cd "c:\windows",cm_SelectAll,cm_Copy
cm_wait x adds a delay of x milliseconds, e.g. cm_SelectAll,cm_wait 1000,cm_Copy
You can open a virtual folder with one of the following commands:
cm_OpenDesktop, cm_OpenDrives, cm_OpenControls, cm_OpenFonts, cm_OpenNetwork, cm_OpenPrinters, cm_OpenRecycled
Instead of the command name, you can also use the command number as listed in totalcmd.inc, e.g. 300 instead of cm_SrcComments.
Many internal commands support a single parameter, see "Choose command" for a list.
Additionally, you can define your own commands with prefix em_ via "Choose command" and then use them here.
