How to: put "Shift+F4"-command in button bar?

[KevinMo]

How to make a button for commands like shift+del or shift+f4, etc.?
I've searched the wiki and forum but cannot find anything useful -_-; The nearest topic is here, which I don't quite understand

PS: Does TC internal commands support parameters?

Thanks in advance

You cannot unfortunately, because TC senses the shift when the command is executed. You could use a simple AutoHotkey script and bind it to a button:

Code: Select all

Send +F4

No.

Thanks for your definitive reply

Hi SanskritFritz,

Can you please help me in creating the said script? I created: ::Edit/::shif+f4 in autokey and then inserted this in send Edit/ in the command line of "Change single button" panel. Obviously this is not correct as it does not work.

Many thanks.

Save this as your script.ahk file:

Code: Select all

Send +{F4}

Now right click on the TC button bar and 'change' to add a button, in the command field put "full-path-to-your\script.ahk" - assign an icon and you're done.

If you click the button the autohotkey script will run and send the shift+f4 combination.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, cdg and hi5, for undigging a super dead thread which had not had any new post since January 2006, for 10.5 years!

karlchen,
I see no problem in users finding and posting to the appropriate threads.

Yes indeed it works like charm! Many thanks

Yes, better re-use old but fitting threads than creating new one, to keep things together.

There is no such thing as 'dust' or 'dead' for forums

If an user dig out an interesting ten year old thread, there should be no harm

Hi, Hacker, Stefan2.
Yes, yes, yes, I see the difference between the T.C. forum and some other IT related forum which I visit regularly.
Total Commander is a product that is vastly downwards compatible even after more than 20 years. So even 10 year old advice may still apply.
The same is rarely true e.g. in Linux environments. Therefore reviving threads that have been dead for a long time is frowned upon in such environments.
But I see the difference.
Cheers,
Karl
