I strongly advise improve/add the functions bellow :-)

[mnxinu]

1. address bar can select "path text" directly;
2. select files with mouse easily like in "microsoft file explorer";
3. put more button at the right of address bar, the button's command can be self define(such as define the button as "copy full path to clipboard");

I have been use totalcommander for many years, it is the most important tools for me, and I hope it will be better in the future!

Thanks for the developers giving us a so good tools!

Today is the 5th day of China-New-Year, happy new year to TC, happy new year to all of you!!!

anyone agree to my ideas? if so, please replay, 3KS!!

1. address bar can select "path text" directly;

I guess this could be a nice feature. If you’re on the parent-directory entry in the listbox, that is, the “..” entry, and press the key you’ve assinged cm_RenameOnly to, this will allow you to edit the path as well.

I’d like a way to get to editing the path directly, like in a web browser, or explorer for that matter, so that I can press Ctrl+L to quickly go somewhere else. Currently I do a lot of “<Right>cd <path><Enter>” commands for changing directories, to activate the command line and executing the cd command.

2. select files with mouse easily like in "microsoft file explorer";

What do you mean? You can get selection that is more or less like explorer already. I mean, Shift-select and Ctrl-select works like explorer.

3. put more button at the right of address bar, the button's command can be self define(such as define the button as "copy full path to clipboard");

Sure, but I don’t care about this, since I have that part of the interface disable, and you already have the toolbar for this.

Today is the 5th day of China-New-Year, happy new year to TC, happy new year to all of you!!!

And a happy new year to you too.

1. address bar can select "path text" directly;

You can add this line to your wincmd.ini in the section [configuration]: InplaceRenamePath=1

Then you can edit the path with a simple click. To go to a certain directory of the shown path, you have to shift-click then.

2. select files with mouse easily like in "microsoft file explorer";

You can switch the selection mode to the left mouse button in the configuration:

configuration -> Options -> Operation -> Mouse selection mode

12.) How NOT to post on this forum:

5 minutes after your initial post you reply to your own post writing something like "Why is nobody helping me? I'm sure you know the answer".

You were too fast to brake that rule, that's for sure.

1. It's not possible to have it editable for both panels at the same time.
Use the contextmenu to mark /copy / paste / cut the path to navigate to another directory with [enter].

Assign a hotkey to the command: cm_EditPath (Options > Misc) and use the [->] arrow key. Or have it in your menu or buttonbar. When on [..] Shift + F6 will do the same.

2. Configuration > Options > Configuration > Operation
(x) Use right mouse button (As in Norton Commander)

-Contextmenu will be shown after a "long" right-click

3. Create a button in your buttonbar or a menuitem with:
cm_CopyNamesToClip
cm_CopyFullNamesToClip
cm_CopyNetNamesToClip
Will copy the path w/o name of file under cursor into clipboard.

Please use the search function of the forum: path bar with active links

Happy new year!

Assign a hotkey to the command: cm_EditPath

Ah, that's the command's name. Thanks. Assigning Ctrl+L to cm_EditPath now.

Assigning Ctrl+L to cm_EditPath

Are you aware that Ctrl+L is assigned to cm_GetFileSpace by default?

I'm not good at English, and can't express my real meaning compeletly!
So I write in Chinese, Anyone is good at English ,can you translate the Chinese paragraph to English? thank you !!

各位所说的方法我也曾试过，但都存在一定的不足，所以我才提出这些想法。

1、我的想法是“当前文件夹（show current directory）”那一栏为什么不直接用可编辑的文本框？为什么要设成只读的，要在单击之后才可以去选择呢，如果能直接选择、编辑，不是更好吗？
我们为什么会选择Total Commander，就是因为她可以走捷径，以更高的效率操作！！
而各位所说的把光标移动到".."那里，按F2，和单击能选择，哪个更多了操作步骤？？ 如果直接是可编辑状态，我们就可以直接编辑了，就是windows文件管理器的地址栏，用起来是不是很方便？！

2、虽然可以改成用鼠标右键选择文件，但其方便性大失。一是选择了文件不能在点击空白处直接取消选择，二是打开鼠标的右键菜单需要长时间点右键，失去了快捷操作的特点。

3、在“当前文件夹”栏的右侧放几个按钮，可以更好的利用空间，加快操作速度，提高工作效率。如果这些按钮能自定义操作的命令，效果将更好。
