Focus to TC-Window by clicking on it

Post by *Freud »

Windows 7 Ultimate, Total Commander 8.01 Bit
-------------------------------------------------------
I usually have my maximized Total Commander in the background while having sometimes smaller windows (emails, messenger, player...) in foreground. I used to get the focus back on TC by simply clicking somewhere in the window - in 8.01 this isn't working anymore. (TC doesn't get the focus!) I have to use the taskbar or alt + tab now (which is annoying with 15 tasks running) Is that behavior intended? Can I deactivate it somewhere?

Thanks!

I can't confirm. It seems that you use some third-party software or some TC plugin that cause that. Try to start TC with clean INI with parameter /i=c:\new.ini.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Non-Focus Scrolling

Post by *Phred »

Parenthetically, only partially related to the OP, I now always work with mouse-over mouse-wheel scrolling behaviour, when a window doesn't have the focus.
I can scroll a 'background' window while it's still in the background, then return my attention to the foreground.
The small utility that lets me do this is KatMouse, available free.
Try it; you'll love it.
