Branch view and cursor position
Posted: 2019-07-07, 11:42 UTC
Suppose there is the following directory structure:When the branch view is switched on, the panel shows:The status bar shows (respectively):When user puts the cursor on some file, and then executes the cm_RereadSource (Ctrl+R or F2), or cm_DirBranch (Ctrl+B) command, that is, switches the branch view mode off, the cursor goes to:Do you see some logics in such behavior? I don't.
I suppose the following:
File1 -> File1
File2 -> File2
File3 -> File3
That is, cursor always is put exactly on the file where it was when the branch view mode is switched off.
The reason is: we usually use the branch view to find a file whose name we know (may be approximately) but whose path we don't. After finding the sought file, we like to go directly to this file
Code: Select all
Folder1
Folder2
File1
File2
File3
Code: Select all
File1
File2
File3
Code: Select all
Folder1\Folder2\File1
Folder1\File2
File3
Code: Select all
File1 -> Folder1
File2 -> File3
File3 -> File3
