Alway On Top

[otello]

Sorry for creating a new topic but I can't get any reasonable results using the search function for my question.

Is there a way I can make Tcmd stay on top of other windows, preferably a way to create a toolbar button to toggle between 'Always On Top' / 'Not' ?

Install AHK, check my sig. Then create a file "ToggleAlwaysOnTop.ahk" and drag it to the toolbar:

Code: Select all

#NoTrayIcon
WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, Toggle, A

You can also use one of the 573 million always on top apps you can find with Google, preferably one that is controllable by command line, for example PowerMenu:

You can also use this TC plugin.

Thanks, but I meant some built-in function, a hidden command that I could bind to a shortcut or a button.

Having autohotkey (a separate app) run a script for such a simple thing bothers me greatly but it helps until a real feature is added to tcmd.

The suggested plugin is a pain in the a** to use. Alt-tabbing wins for now, let's see if I can locate a feature request thread.

You could compile that tiny bit of script to an exe. The exe would be small and only run when you want it to, i.e. not stay in the background. It is also possible to tie the exe to a TC-shortcut or button.

I can compile it for you, even!!

The property "doesn't run in the background" is caused by the script, not by its compilation status!
It doesn't make a difference if you install AutoHotkey and press a button with the script or if you don't install AHK and press a button with the Exe.

again, thanks for your suggestions, I could do something very similar to what icfu suggested with autoit myself, but I'd rather see total commander support this functionality natively.
