enhancement: Directory Hot-list - add hot keys

[wjharing]

Now, when selecting the Directory Hotlist (CTRL-D), you get your list, and have to scroll up or down. On the left of the hotlist, you will see a check for the active directory

It would be great if at that left part of the hotlist would be numbers/letters (1-0, a-z), working as a hot-key. So when I open the hotlist (CTRL-D), I can now instantly jump to item 7, by pressing 7.

For someone using that hotlist a lot, this would save me quite some keystrokes

You can use an ampersand (&) to set a hotkey when editing the Title of the menu item - isn't that good enough?

ah thanks for the tip!, that helps quite a bit.

I do think that my original suggestion is a lot easier to use, only because I have a whole bunch of hotlist entries with similar names (across different drives).

You may name your entries like this:

Code: Select all

&1. Dir1
&2. Dir2
...
&A. DirN
&B. DirM
...

Or you may use tab character copied from e.g. notepad to display hotkeys aligned to right:

Code: Select all

Dir1\t&1
Dir2\t&2
...
DirN\t&A
...

Here instead of \t you need to Ctrl+V tab character copied from notepad, you can't type it directly to that dialog. It will look like this (letters to the right are shortcut keys that are typed with tab character and ampersand, underscores are not displayed for letters in shortcut area but work).
