Well, this is the main reason for locking a tab.
If you want to change dirs most flexible, just unlock the tab

I have to agree with sqa_wizard.
If locked tabs would behave like standard ones then locking would be useless in many cases.

I know that locking is useful thing, and that go to home dir too. But sometimes it is sad that we get one feature instead of another. I know that I can create another tab and press Ctrl+\ there, but it will be good if locked tab also has feature 'go to root directory'.
BTW, I didn't suggest to remove 'go to home dir' feature of locked tab. And, if I unlock tab, I lost its home dir.

You have to add LockedGoToDriveRoot=1 to wincmd.ini file.
After this you can use both command to reach drive root and base dir of locked tab. Sorry, i dont remember exact names. |

MVV,

I suggest the other way around:
one Ctrl-\ - go to tab home dir
two Ctrl-\ - go to drive root

Support.
The primary goal of locking a tab is to be able to go back to the root folder of the tab. And the root folder of the tab is the folder which I selected as its root.
Being able to go to the root folder of the drive is secondary in this case.
Hm, maybe the order of going to "tab home dir" and "drive root" could be made dependant on the parameter "LockedGoToDriveRoot":
LockedGoToDriveRoot=0:
1st ctrl+\ goes to tab home dir
2nd ctrl+\ goes to drive root dir
LockedGoToDriveRoot=1:
1st ctrl+\ goes to drive root dir
2nd ctrl+\ goes to tab home dir
Wouldn't this make everybody happy?

This will be at least strange. For example, I have locked tab at F:\111. I have current path C:\Windows. So, at first, I go to F:\111, and then to C:\ as root folder of another drive? My suggestion was logical.

I think it is enough to go to home by TC restart/tab switch/cm_GoToLockedDir. I don't think this folder is really needed every minute.

This fully satisfies me.

How about Ctrl+\ goes to root of Tab, Alt+\ goes to root of Drive: | Code: | [Configuration]
LockedGoToDriveRoot=1
[Shortcuts]
C+OEM_US\|=cm_GoToLockedDir
A+OEM_US\|=cm_GoToRoot |

Thank you VadiMGP, this is what I was looking for !
I suggest this could be done somewhere in the menus.
PS I was puzzled at first with "\" behaving differently after a "Locked, but directory changes allowed". |
