go a relative root directory

[slymz]

It so happens that I work in directories of the form

c:\prefix\work1\[a\b\ ...]
c:\prefix\work2\[d\e\f ...]
c:\prefix\work3\[g\h\i\j\k ...]

and so on.

I was wondering if it is possible to assign a Directory Hotlist shortcut (ctrl+D) (or any other shortcut for that matter) that would take me to, e.g, 'c:/prefix/work1' whenever the pane is under some (unspecified levels deep) subdirectory of 'c:/prefix/work1'?

Try to create a button or user-command with (don't forget last backslash after prefix):

Code: Select all

Command: go_to_prefixed_root.cmd
Parameters: "c:\prefix\" "%P"
Run minimized: Yes

Where go_to_prefixed_root.cmd:

Code: Select all

@echo off
if -%1==- echo Params: ^<prefix\^> "%%P" & pause & goto :EOF
for /d %%d in ("%~dp1*") do (
	echo "%~dp2" | find /i "%%d" >nul
	if not errorlevel 1 (
		start "" "%COMMANDER_EXE%" /O /S /L="%%d"
		goto :EOF
	)
)

Batch file tries to find paths of all subdirs of your prefix dir (c:\prefix\work1\, c:\prefix\work2\ etc) in the path and opens matched dir in TC.

You can use user-command name (em_..., may be created from buttonbar button choose command dialog in usercmd.ini section) in Ctrl+D entry.
You can also use go_to_prefixed_root.cmd c:\prefix\ "%P" there but it will show black window.

not sure if this is what you want, but there is "Start" menu in TC that you can customize where you can assign to each your entry Keyboard shortcut (up to 24 shortcuts).
So you can define entry in that menu with command "cd c:\prefix\work1" and assign shortcut to it. The problem is that set of shortcuts is quite limited - only Ctrl-Alt-F_key and Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F_key

actually you are not limited... you can define any shortcut in Configuration->Misc to these menu items: cm_UserMenu1...

ado,
BTW you can create any number of user-commands like em_mycmd1, em_mycmd2 etc and assign shortcuts to them, you're not limited to Start menu items (there is a special section usercmd.ini for custom commands in command browser).
But slymz wants to use exactly one command / hotlist menu item / shortcut for such task.
