Middle click anywhere in panel - up one level

[zaxzax]

Is this possible in Total commander, and if yes - how? I saw this in Gnome commander and I found it to be very useful.

No, not without AutoHotkey. Here is a script for AutoHotkey which comes cloes to what you would like, however, it sets focus on the panel where you click.

Code: Select all

#NoEnv

#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
$MButton::
	MouseGetPos, , , , Control
	IfEqual, Control, TMyListBox1
	{
		ControlFocus, %Control%
		PostMessage, 1075, 2002
		Return
	}
	IfEqual, Control, TMyListBox2
	{
		ControlFocus, %Control%
		PostMessage, 1075, 2002
		Return
	}
Return

This is discrimination if you ask me
If I was a middle click mouse button I'd feel hurt right now (why do the other buttons get so much attention?)

Hasn't the time come to bug Mr Ghisler about these little discrepancies???

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Too bad it isn't implemented in TC

When you use the above script, middle clicking on a tab to close it stops working. I have been so used to this in many applications that I needed a workaround.
So I added a few lines to fix that. But you'll need to enable "Close tab on double click" for this to work:

Code: Select all

;Middle click anywhere in panel - up one level with fix for middle click close tab 
; Important make sure that double click to close tab is enabled for middle click to close tab to work
#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD 
MButton:: 
   MouseGetPos, , , , Control 
   IfEqual, Control, TMyListBox1 
   { 
      ControlFocus, %Control% 
      PostMessage, 1075, 2002 
      Return 
   } 
   Else{
   Click
   }
   IfEqual, Control, TMyListBox2 
   { 
      ControlFocus, %Control% 
      PostMessage, 1075, 2002 
      Return 
   } 
   Else{
   Click 
   }
Return
#IfWinActive

If there is a simpler way to do it, (many here are autohotkey experts ) please post it. Also I am using TC 7 Beta 2 for testing this.

This removes that limitation. So the focus is set back to the current tab. Try it and tell me if there are any bugs.

Code: Select all

;Middle click anywhere in panel - up one level with fix for middle click close tab 
; Important make sure that double click to close tab is enabled for middle click to close tab to work
#IfWinActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD 
MButton:: 
   MouseGetPos, , , , Control 
   ControlGetFocus, Current
   IfEqual, Control, TMyListBox1 
   { 
      ControlFocus, %Control% 
      PostMessage, 1075, 2002 
	  ; return focus
	  ControlFocus, %Current% 
      Return 
   } 
   Else{
   Click
   }
   IfEqual, Control, TMyListBox2 
   { 
      ControlFocus, %Control% 
      PostMessage, 1075, 2002 
	  ; return focus
	  ControlFocus, %Current% 
      Return 
   } 
   Else{
   Click 
   }
Return

Sorry for the repeat posts
But I want to know if it is possible to completely hide/remove the parent dir (the .. at the top of every view).
I have just found out that it is not much useful when we start to use this shortcut
I cannot find it in the preferences dialog or docs.

Clo,
As the name of the option implies, it only applies to the root of the drive.

Hi Roman !

• Yep True ! Might be enhanced in the panels for all views at will (another tick-box ?)…

I was indeed aware of that option, it works only in root folders.

Maybe this option can be added in TC 7?

Hello !

• Feel free to suggest it in the appropriate section

- Looking at this closer, the option for "Root" could be used with a 3-state box
(because there is no more room on the page…) :
¤ Ticked¦greyed : Shows •• in the root,
¤ Ticked : shows •• always in the panels (root and folders)
¤ Unticked : Never shows ••
or so… Too late for 7.0 such as in UI, but another flag could be added in the INI entry (doesn't need translations !) :
ShowParentDirInRoot=–1 Hides •• in the root and in the folders.
