Open folders directly in TC

Post by *Tunes »

Hi T+1 day user here, so please pardon if this is too trivial.

When I'm in a directory and I use my keyboard to begin typing the first few letters of a folder in the same level of the directory, the typed text shows in the command window and on clicking enter it launches the inbuilt Windows file explorer. I would rather have the folder open in TC. If I used the arrows to go up/down to the folder in question, it opens in TC but using the arrows always is tedious and inefficient. How can I type the first few characters and still open the folder in TC?

Is this because I am yet to register TC? or some setting I can change? (I've searched and couldn't find anything so far)

Thanks for your help!

Change the option in "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Quick Search" -> "Quick search (current dir)" to "Letter only"

Or type cd + space in the command line before you start typing the folder name.
