If a user doesnt understand that reading helps (like the helpfile), he doesnt deserve "convenient" :D

That is not a "silly thing", that you dont seem to understand, its so that you can bring tc via keyboard, so very helpfull :!:

The Option "Keep absolute path" in standard copy (F5) dialog. (see also: [TC11] Option to "Keep absolute path" in standard copy (F5) dialog)

Edit 2024-04-07: It's important and useful

multi-rename tool -> colored entries like in "synchronize directories". show changed items in a different color.
multi-rename tool -> ability to change the font used in the multi-rename tool independently (right now the "dialog box font" is used)

packer -> saving packer settings as presets and the ability to use them via commands/buttons

buttonbar -> drag & drop buttons
buttonbar -> paste buttons (TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA items) in open button-menus

buttonbar -> bullet/overlay icons. basically a second, smaller icon in a corner of your own choosing.

vertical buttonbar -> separator line instead of an empty button

file list view: the ability to group items (files/folders) by custom criteria (date, name, etc...). like in the windows explorer

I will try to improve my comment:
The Help for Options > Layout dialog > Show Command Line currently is,
"Shows a command line to start DOS and Windows programs. If the command line is hidden it will be shown as soon as you type a letter on the keyboard."

It could be useful to add something like,
"To disable the command line entirely, use the RestrictInterface command; see the Help page, 'Ini File Settings part 2: Configuration N-Z'."

A good old request: Sort folders and files mixed! So the folder zzzz_files and the file zzzz.ext stay together

Of course my long sought-after pet project - a dedicated drives- and folders-consolidation and -reconciliation-tool, implemented in close correlation to the already existing SyncDirs-process but much more powerful. In order to not alienating current SyncDirs-users it would probably better be implemented as a separate tool with the current SyncDirs-options "Subdirs", "ignore date" and - most importantly - "by content" ALWAYS SET ON.

The real problem this new tool would go after, though, would be dealing with MOVED AND/OR RENAMED files. Therefore it would be necessary - after a first run which would find binary duplicates (with different names or in different locations) erroneously as "unique left"/"unique right" as currently customary - to now perform a "find duplicates by content disregarding names"-search only between those putatively "unique" columns. This new duplicates-search would now separate each of those columns into a) "truly unique"-files and b) "only locally unique"-files with binary duplicates found someplace else. This would result in now 6 (instead of currently 4) different categories - displayed in +2 different colors - allowing the user to separately select the "truly-unique"- and the "pseudo-unique"-category by then split top-level-buttons.

With that enhanced tool the user could now easily inspect in particular the files with duplicates someplace else on a visual basis in order to decide which version to keep or which version to delete/move as being obsolete or being found in the wrong location.

Add the possibility to hide the "Recently closed tabs" from the Tabs list, either by a WINCMD.INI option
(e.g.: ShowRecentlyClosedTabs = 1 | 0 (default 1, so to keep current behaviour)) or by a parameter
in the cm_xxxTabsList commands

And even better: add commands to show ONLY the recently closed tabs, or in alternative as a parameter
for the cm_xxxTabsList commands

A new internal command
cm_DirMatchSame [no:nnn, description: "Mark same"] ("Mark Same, Hide Newer Files"/"Gleiche markieren, neue verstecken")

(According to
cm_DirMatch [no: 534, description: "Mark newer"] ("Mark Newer, Hide Same Files"/"Gleiche verstecken, neue markieren"))

...es fehlt schon immer ein Befehl, der das Gegenteil von cm_DirMatch ist.
