Hmm, tell me what the scripts are about (sorry but no time currently to deep-follow every thread).
It's three shortcuts that aren't currently available in XY.
  1. Global Shortcut (such as Win+E) which would Minimize XY if it is the active window or show XY. This could just be a modification to the existing "HotKeyShowApp" or a new tweak like "HotKeyToggleApp" or similar. As lukescammell it would also be nice if this were elevated to the CKS dialog, but then you'd need (or we'd like you) to add support for Winkey as a modifier.
  2. When the auto-complete list is visible (Shift+)Tab should function as Up/Down. Currently, this only works for the MRU list.
  3. Shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Backspace) which uses '\' as the word separator and thus deletes a whole level from the path instead of/in addition to the current Ctrl+Backspace behavior. Currently Ctrl+Left/Right uses different separators than Ctrl+Backspace so the behavior we're after is equivalent to Ctrl+Shift+Left -> Backspace.

Sorry, but
1) no time
2) not possible
3) don't understand

  1. :|
  2. :cry:
  3. :shock: To explain:
    1. In the address bar type 'C:\New Folder\'.
    2. Hit Ctrl+Left - Notice how the cursor is now right after the first '\'.
    3. Hit Ctrl+Right or End to restore the cursor position.
    4. Hit Ctrl+Backspace - This uses a different set of characters for word separators and thus only deletes 'Folder\'.
    5. Restore the text by typing 'Folder\'.
    6. Hit Ctrl+Shift+Left and then Backspace. The address bar should now contain 'C:\' with the cursor at the end. It's this action that we'd like to see as a single shortcut, or really as the behavior of Ctrl+Backspace.
    I don't think it's actually possible as I think you said there's not enough freedom to control Backspace here.

I don't see the differences in behavior. It's all the same here. :?

Apparently someone didn't try it with a fresh copy of XY. :P

Ah yes, in that case the answer is: not possible.
Auto-complete is right from hell.

Am I missing something? The global hotkey for minimize and restore of XYPlorer would be easy with AHK. This doesn't need to be in the app itself, even though it would be a nice to have. I'm more concerned with a true visual studio 2013 dark theme... gotta have priorities :-)

Does anyone need an AHK script for minimize/restore xyplorer? I can throw one together quickly if you need it.
