Total Commander

I know you can press Ctrl-Shift-A and then *, but I think it would be useful to have a hotkey
to directly show the full folders instead of the tabs labels.

I am a software developer and very often I have several open tabs pointing to a "bin" folder,
so every tab has "bin" in its label and you never know which is their parent folder.

The list of all open tabs is a long-awaited feature and it is gladly welcome, but I think the
current solution is quite "clumsy": first Ctrl-Shift-A (three key to press at the same time)
and then * (two more keys to press at the same time).

Call me "lazy" but I prefer a simpler solution.

Maybe a parameter 1 for the cm_SrcTabsList command, to make it open the list in full folders mode - then you can assign the hotkey yourself.

Right-Click on a Tab and rename it to something more usefull then "bin"?

What ???? For every tab ??? For every folder ??? Anytime I open it ???
The tabs ARE NOT FIXED !!! They can be closed, and another one with the
same name can be opened.

Think about VisualStudio where EVERY executable folder is called "Debug" or "Release".

What you suggest is clearly not acceptable.

How was I supposed to know that all you are doin is going into and out of folders and not doing any work?

You are right, indeed. That's why I added a sad face to my post.
My sentence wasn't meant as a "flame" but as a consideration that the solution Sir_SiLvA suggested
was not useful for my needs, which I understand are different from his own.

English is not my mother language, so maybe I chose the wrong words which gave my post an "aggressive" tone.

Yet I remember a post in which a user said he had more than a hundred tabs open.
Guess if he had the same problem I have ....

The proposition to have full PathName instead of just tab name with option on cm_SrcTabsList or another command seems to be the best.
Renaming Tab manually is also possible but as you said can be a lot of work if you do not add some automation using AHK or Autoit or powerpro or...

I suggest showing the tab names in () followed by the full pathname.

Hmm, that could result in "veery looong" menu captions.

Not in the captions, only in the tab list.

Yes, of course I meant that, because the tab list looked like a menu to me,
even if maybe it is implemented as something else.

I would consider this to be a rather important improvement (for developers, etc.) and therefore bring it up again.
But it would be even better if you could set it within the INI so that the list is always opened in full folders mode.

I was also very excited by this upcoming feature, but implementation doesn't make me happy either.
I would like to see something like some browser tab switching plugins are doing. On Chrome/Edge I use Quickey
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quickey-%E2%80%93-the-quick-tab-s/ldlghkoiihaelfnggonhjnfiabmaficg
it allows to do fuzyy search by both title and address. I'd like also option to have combined list of tabs (not 2 separated like now). Ideally could be a new type of TC plugins to implement such features, not to request from author.

I would like it if you could switch between tab labels and full paths by activating the tabs list again. So pressing Ctrl+Shift+A twice would show full paths. And pressing Ctrl+Shift+A again would show tab labels again.
