Command to open a directory in a new tab

[sidefx88]

Hi!

I set a lot of key shortcuts to go directly to certain directories I frequently use. Now I'm asking if there's a command (or way) to set some new key shortcuts to go to those directories but in a new tab.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

RTFM:

/T Opens the passed dir(s) in new tab(s)

Thanks for answering, but I don't get it.

One of my original commands assigned to a keyboard shortcut is:

[usercmd.ini]

[em_usercmd5]
button=
cmd=cd e:\Music

Where I must add the "/T" param.
I tried to add a new line "param=/T", but it didn't work.

I guess that your suggestion only works to open Total Commander and automatically open tabs in specified dirs.

But I need to open tabs in specified dirs when TC is already running

I do know how to add short-cut, which open directory in active tab (cd c:\MyDirectory),

I do know how to add short-cut, which create new tab in active window (cm_opennewtab)

But I do not know how to add shortcut which merge above two in one, so I can open desired directory in new tab. Any ideas?

Please execute the following command (after replacing my path with yours):

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_EXE% /L=c:\your\path /O /T

This command can be executed from command line, hotkey, bar button, alias, etc.
And read the "Command line parameters" chapter carefully!

It works but not in the active panel

Only works in the left (or right, /L - /R)


I was trying using the command "appentabs file1.tab", it works on the active panel, but opens the new tab "in background", not as the active tab

Finally it works by adding the /S parameter!

%COMMANDER_EXE% "c:\your\path" /O /T /S

Thanks, mate!

[em_cdMusicNewTab]

When defining a new user command click the Help button. You will see:

Command: There are many possible commands which can be placed in this field:
1. ...
2. You can also place one or more of Total Commander's internal menu commands here comma-separated. Just click on the button with the magnifying glass and choose a command from the dialog box "Choose command".
Example for multiple commands: cm_SelectAll,cm_Copy

Thanks, white!

The method you mention is easier and shorter, but the "%COMMANDER_EXE% "c:\your\path" /O /T /S" way works fine for me!

Thanks!

I expected cm_OpenNewTab,cd "C:\" will work but it isn't

You need to put cd "C:\" inside a command (e.g. em_driveC).

You need to put cd "C:" inside a command (e.g. em_driveC).

Yes i know, but i was trying to find an easy way to access any folder in new tab without creating user command for it!
