Keyboard shortcut to path field?

[spikey]

Can I activate the Path Field by using a keyboard shortcut rather than clicking on it? I mean the field just above the column headings showing the current directory's path.

For example, I have a path on my Windows clipboard (e.g. "C:\Program Files") and want to paste it into that field without activating it by clicking with my cursor.

ALT-SHIFT-F11 focuses the button bar but I can't find anything which gets me any closer to the Path Field.

Thanks for any help.

spikey,
Home, Shift-F6 or you can assign one to the internal command cm_EditPath.

Thanks. That's exactly what I wanted.

Where is SHIFT+F6 listed? I couldn't find it in the help text and I hate to waste people's time for things I can find myself.

Under Help / Keyboard

There it says: "SHIFT+F6 Rename files in the same directory".

It doesn't say I can enter a directory to go to. How strange.

Please read again Hacker's post, he said press Home, Shift-F6, so you have to press Home key before Shift+F6 or assign your hotkey for the actual command cm_EditPath

Sorry, I think I wasn't being clear.

With or without first pressing HOME, there is no information in the Help text to inform the reader that SHIFT+F6 places the focus on the path field above the column headings.

I wish I could see a true master list of such keyboard shortcuts.

Sometimes there are valuable information listed in History.txt like this one

13.07.16 Fixed: Shift+F6 on [..] (change current path): Confirmation button appeared only for a short time, then disappeared (Tab background redraw problem) (32/64)

There are, but that is a very bad way to spread information. Most users are not even aware of existence of this file.

All those little features that can be found in history.txt, wikipages, ini files, forum topics and other obscure places, should be properly documented in the help file or online help which doesn't even exist.

And to me It's very confusing.

I agree completely.

Thank you for the information. I never knew history.txt even existed and I have been using TC since version 5! However, it is quite densely written and I'm not sure what string I would have used to search to find my information.

Maybe cm_EditPath is what you should use - assigning it to a hotkey of your own choice.
