Shortcut to move folders

Post by *dekiblue »

I have to go manually through a long list of folders and then decided to which of 8 destination folders should I move it into. It would be great if I can have a shortcut that can move the folder under the cursor into one of the tabs opened on opposite side.

Can this be done?

Thanks,

You can create buttons or hotkeys to chained commands with something like this:

Command:
cm_RightActivateTab3,cm_FocusLeft,cm_RenMov

This would select the third right tab, switch to the left side and move the selected/focused file.

Assuming your files are on the left side and your target tabs on the right.

I would start with a button. When you're ready to set hotkeys select usercmd.ini in the command menu and create new user commands with the sequences.

This solution is good, but it needs the target folder to be opened on the passive pane.
Alternative way would be to create an individual hotkey for moving a focused file/folder to the pre-defined specific folder, n spite of whether it is currently opened on the passive pane or not.'

But the problem is, that AFAIK Total Commander internal copy/move commands does not allow any parameters, a, I right?
In this event we need to use external Windows command interpreter "Move" command with the target folder as a parameter in our user-command.
