[Change function req] Double click on tab

Post by *nodust05 »

Double click on tab will delete the tab, but Ctrl-W or right click menu can handle it. And I won't delete the tab frequently.

Now, if I want goto the tab [C:\Windows (Suppose it change to D:\Data)] in other panel, I have to click [C:\Windows] then Ctrl-\ or click another tab then back. This is not convenient.

So, I request change double click on tab goto the base dir of the tab is much better.

(Correct misspelling tag to tab by requester for easy reading)

What you call a tag is actually a tab.

If tabs closing on doubleclick is inconvevient for you, you can disable it at all: Configuration>Options>Folder Tabs>Close tab on double click (untick it).


If you want to go to the base dir of a tab using mouse you can simply switch from one to another tab on the same panel. It's fast enough.

So I don't support this request.

Not exactly.
1. You have to switch to another tab and then switch back on the previous one.
2. What if you have one tab only? Create a new one and repeat previous step? :wink:

IMHO very useful feature. I suggested it some time ago but suggestion was rejected.

I've meant exactly that. But I didn't want to write much :)

Such an often encountered situation for anyone? I always have more than two tabs per panel.

Reason of rejection?

So you have to agree - it is quite annoying. "Oh, teacher, you like Windows - exit and enter again!" (C)

I cannot speak for everyone but for me - ofthen enough.

AFAIR, something like "It is impossible because double click is used for closing tabs".

Sounds silly.

Request Amendment.

I open the tabs just like my favourite, I even don't close them and have to get back there frequently.

After consideration, though I don't use double click to close the tab, I have another idea.

My request: [mouse to tab1] -> [click] -> goto base dir of tab1

Now: [mouse to tab2] -> [click] -> [mouse to tab1] -> [click] -> goto base dir of tab1

If I can do the job in 2 steps, why should I make it 4 steps?

My explanation:
1. If I want goto the changed location of the activated tab, I would just simply click on the large panel instead of the small tab.
2. If I click on the tab, I am REALLY want to go there (the base dir of the tab).

So, I would like to change my request: ONE click on the tab goto the base dir of the tab
(Just like I click on any other tabs)
