Directory menu (Ctrl+D): Quick Search would be useful

Post by *schittli »

Hello

Totalcommander's "Quick Search" is great and it would be very useful if we could use Quick Search in the Directory menu (Ctrl+D), too. We have between 40 and 60 items in the Directory menu...

Or, at least, if we could remove the hotkeys for "Add current Dir" and "Configure…" because they are used once per year but having the A and C keys to search would be very useful.

Thanks a lot, kind regards,
Thomas

You can remove the hotkeys by modifying the language file in use (keys 1146-1148). Note that modified language files get overwritten on the next TC update, so it might be better to make a copy of the language files, modify the copy and then use that.

It's very sad that the english language is not a separate language file :-(

See: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=402786#p402786

You don't need a full wcmd_eng.lng you can just make a wcmd_eng.lng with the changes you want:

Code: Select all

English
1146="Add current dir"
1147="Remove current dir"
1148="Configure..."

May I suggest that you name the file wcmd_my_eng.lng with this content:

Code: Select all

English (modified)
1146="Add current dir"
1147="Remove current dir"
1148="Configure..."
And then select "English (modified)" as your language.

The name part of the file HAS to end with _eng - that ensures that plugins and other functions will use English. So wcmd_2_eng.lng or wcmd_modified_eng.lng are valid named, but wcmd_eng2.lng, wcmd_eng_2.lng or wcmd_eng_modified.lng are NOT valid.
