[SOLVED] Is there a shortcut for this menu?
Hey there,
I am sorry if this has been asked before but since the menu does not have a hint I have no idea what to search for.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for this menu?

Also why doesn't it have a hint?
And while we're at it: why do some elements in TC show their shortcut in their hint while others don't? Is there an option to show shortcuts TC-wide?
(eg History & Directory hotlist show their shortcut, default buttons in the menu bar do not)

Alt+F11 + Enter for left side and Alt+F12 + Enter for right side.

Re: Is there a shortcut for this menu? (name unknown)
- Shortcuts seen in menu are only "hard-coded" noted in language files:
\LANGUAGE\WCMD_DEU.LNG
1538="Verzeichnisliste (Strg+D)"
\LANGUAGE\WCMD_DEU.MNU
MENUITEM "&Verzeichnisliste\tStrg+D", 526
- Own shortcuts can only be assigned to internal commands noted in file TOTALCMD.INC (or to own created "em_"-user commands)
- For a list of assigned shortcuts see menu Help > Keyboard...
- If you change a default hotkey, you have to modify the lang-files yourself.

The corresconding commands are: cm_LeftPathFocus and cm_RightPathFocus - to which you can assign another shortcut - but you will still have to pres Enter or Down after pressing the shortcut
Alt+F11 and Alt+F12 sets focus to the breadcrumb bar - you will se a little button with a down-arrow appear under the arrow - and when you thereafter press Enter or Down on the keyboard the breadcrumb menu will open.Is there a way to assign another shortcut to that menu?

That's a real pity. I see room for improvement here @ghisler (although I haven't worked with Delphi 2 in AGES I guess there is a way to dynamically append shortcuts to resource strings )Stefan2 wrote: ↑2019-04-03, 13:47 UTC - Shortcuts seen in menu are only "hard-coded" noted in language files:

Can I somehow open the breadcrumb menu directly with a shortcut? I prefer 2-button-shortcuts and I find having to press Enter additionally a little inconvinient.petermad wrote: ↑2019-04-03, 23:52 UTC Alt+F11 and Alt+F12 sets focus to the breadcrumb bar - you will se a little button with a down-arrow appear under the arrow - and when you thereafter press Enter or Down on the keyboard the breadcrumb menu will open.

I just found out, that pressing Enter after Alt+F11/F12 is optional: you can also press Arrow down key to open the menu and then I'd use the arrow keys to navigate the menu anyway.

That's what I meant when I wrote:I just found out, that pressing Enter after Alt+F11/F12 is optional: you can also press Arrow down key to open the menu and then I'd use the arrow keys to navigate the menu anyway.
And no, unfortunately there is currently no way of avoiding the additional Enter or DownArrow keypress....when you thereafter press Enter or Down on the keyboard...

Oh, sorry. I somehow read over that.
