Right now, you can right-click XYplorer in the taskbar to open another instance (window) of it. But I'm wondering if there's a quick key that could be applied. Like how hitting Windows-E will open new instances of File Explorer.
Because of the way I use Catalog, I find it easier to move files with two instances rather than the Dual Pane function.
quick key for multiple instances?
Re: quick key for multiple instances?
An (always running) .ahk script would work...
Code: Select all
#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
#e::
; Of course you need to adapt the path here!
Run, "<XYplorer path>\XYplorer.exe"
Return

XYplorer is my first pinned task bar icon from day one, this offers some benefits:

*: the number is the non zero-based index on the taskbar, which limits this "trick" to the first 9 pinned programs.
