Total Commander

Now in wincmd.ini we can use RestrictInterface=32 can disable Directory hotlist change.

But now i need to diable [Remove current dir] which appear when in dirs that in the hotlist.

Because the hotkey is R,when i press ctrl+D→R，the dir will be remove,
and i need to reset the dir in the hotlist, if there is a option to disable this item will be better i think.

May be it is enough to changing the hotkey. This can be done by changing your WCMD_xxx.LNG (xxx stands for your language) entry with number 1147 from "&Remove current dir" to e.g. "Remove current dir &®".

WCMD_ENG.LNG can be found here.

Or just to "Remove current dir" w/o any shortcut key.

BTW there is another workaround. If you add another item with shortcut key R then R won't execure 'Remove current dir' since there are more than one line with same shortcut - key will just move focus between lines that have it as shortcut.

Or just to "Remove current dir" w/o any shortcut key.

Unfortunately it doesn't work reliable because of automatic hotkeys. In that case there is a need for an entry with shortcut "R" too.

Where do you see automatic hotkeys? TC has no such feature, and Windows can't assign them automatically. Maybe only with third-party software...

Windows can't assign them automatically

IIRC it is a Windows feature. Test it: change the wcmd_eng.lng and "CTRL+D R" removes the folder.

Well, you're right, it seems that if no shortcut is assigned to item, its first letter is treated as its shortcut...

In case you are using the built in English language, you don't need to download the complete "wcmd_eng.lng" file.
Just create a new file

wcmd_eng.lng wrote:English
1147="®emove current dir"

and select "English(wcmd_eng.lng)" from the language configuration.

Thx for reply

I think i will don't assing any hotkey to this action and add anther dir whick hotkey is R.

what would be exactly the way to make "Remove current dir" (and also Add current dir) not appear at all?

My lng file looks like this right now:

English
1147="Remove current dir"
1148="Configure..."

If I just leave
1147=
There is a blank place where that entry would appear in the menu.

I'm trying to make as much space available as possible
thanks!

I guess you can't.
The wcmd_eng.lng files holds only the strings but not the menu structure.

Organize your directory hot-list in categorized sub menus.

ok thanks anyway

Hi!

I cannot add *.lng files, just *.mnu

Is there any way in TC8.51a to change the [Remove current dir] Item?

P.S.:
Currently I solved it this way:
I added an item at the end of the list with the title "prevent &removing" and w/o command.

Thus, if i press [Ctrl]+[D]+[R] accidentally, this dummy item is selected end even if I confirm with [Enter], nothing happens.

Nevertheless it would be nice to change the "Remove current Dir"


EDIT: What about a confirmation dialog?

Thank you both for the input! I (as I'm sure many others do too) use Directory Hotlists *extensively* and the conflicts with Add/Remove/Configure are one of the few usability sore spots I run into with TC.

I really appreciate the tips! Cheers!

I support the suggestion of this addition for "Remove current dir" action.
