[Wish] new shortcuts in SyncDirs

[DrShark]

How about this:
Ctrl+A to select all;
Shift+LeftClick on "Delete left", "Delete right" and "Delete on both sides" for delete ignoring Windows Trash.

AFAIS this is already implemented, if I understand you right:

• Ctrl-A selects all files.
• Delete left / right / on both sides (from context menu) show a confirmation dialog here ("do you really want to delete...").
  Choosing "yes" will delete to trash, pressing Shift while clicking on "yes" will delete directly, without Win Trash.

HTH.

Ctrl-A selects all files.

Please try to sync some dirs (Commands->Synchronize Dirs). Press "Compare" and after comparing please press Ctrl+A to select/deselect all displaying files. This doesn't works for me.

I didn't know about this feature. Thanks!

Works fine here, XP SP2, TC7rc4.

1) Ctrl+A doesn't work for DEselecting;
2) Ctrl+A doesn't work after pressing any button into a "Show:" frame.
Can somebody confirm this?

1) Ctrl+A doesn't work for DEselecting;

Must it? When did Ctrl+A begin to DEselect anything?

2) Ctrl+A doesn't work after pressing any button into a "Show:" frame.

Can't confirm.

But I found a possible source of the problem: if you press Ctrl+A and release it very quickly, TC does not react at this hotkey. You have to hold Ctrl+A a little bit longer (I can't tell how long exactly, in fact it's a very short delay, somewhat around 200 ms). I think it's related to the recent report.

When did Ctrl+A began to DEselect anything?

When selected all.

You have to hold Ctrl+A a little bit longer

Yes, Control key should be pressed earlier and hold...

Sorry, now you are asking too much from me. It does no harm, so I will leave it as it is.

But what is a reason of this behaviour?

[Flint]

When selected all.

Show me any program with this behaviour.
Notepad: Ctrl+A only selects all; next Ctrl+A does nothing (all the text remains selected).
Total Commander, file panels: the same.
TC, Lister, no plugs: the same.
TC, Lister, SynPlus: the same.
EmEditor: the same.
MS Word: the same.
Windows Explorer, file system: the same.
Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox: the same.

Continue? Where did you find such an artefact as Ctrl+A doing deselecting?

Nowhere

But it would be very nice feature in any Windows program.
As alternative wish I ask to add in SyncDirs Ctrl+Num+ and and Ctrl+Num- shortcuts for these actions (select/deselect).

I see now. But your previous messages look as if you are complaining that current behaviour (Ctrl+A does not deselect after selecting all) is a bug. This is definitely not a bug. If you wish to make it a feature request, you'll have to write it more clear. For example, in the first post of this thread you tell nothing about deselecting by Ctrl+A, only about selecting which is already implemented.
