[SOLVE] open folder in the directory history list in new tab

Post by *fdsazcw123 »

hi, need some help here, much appreciated.

hi, currently, if i press alt + arrowdown, then choose one directory to open, it will be opened in the current tab.

so, is it possible to open in a new tab, instead of overwriting the current tab.

thanks and stay safe!

No, but it's simple: Just open another tab (or more specific duplicate the current tab) by pressing Ctrl+T and then select an entry from the history.

Out of curiosity, I just tested my assumption how it could work: Holding Shift when confirming the history item (by Enter or mouse click) opens that folder in a new tab. i.e. Alt+Tab to open history and Shift+Enter to open an item in a new tab. Not sure what TC versions was the first to support this feature.

Usually this is possible in TC by holding down the Shift-key (while mouse clicking or enter pressing on the entry in the history)
This Shift-key modifier works often in TC.
