CEA: Whitespace Double Click

Post by jupe »

I think it could be extremely useful if you exposed the whitespace double click action to scripting.

PS: As a related query (which I assume I could solve myself if the above request was granted) I find it inconvenient that when you are viewing a file as a paperfolder and you dbl click to go up (or go up via other methods), it goes to "This PC" instead of the IMO more convenient, parent of the currently loaded paperfolder text file.
Is that something that you would consider changing, or could it be implemented, ie. with how the mechanics of paper: folders work, would it be feasible, and not have downsides I haven't foreseen?.

+ 1 for this one. The more actions we can customize via CEA scripts the better. White space clicking is very convenient for customized actions on selected file(s) or menus. Millzey recently requested the same for middle click here viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21512 So many more mice nowadays are capable of middle click, if not they can do with software like X-Mouse Button Control.

If implemented, I am not sure it would work while maintaining a selection though, at least it doesn't currently. Middle click would be ideal for that situation though and I agree would be great to have too/instead, both can have their different use cases.

Yes, you're right jupe, double click wouldn't work to initiate script action on a selected file since the filename(s) would be un-selected, but you could still use it for other actions like menus. As you said, middle click maintains the selection though.

Thanks Don for CEA DoubleClick on WhiteSpace and for including MiddleClick on WhiteSpace as well and applying to both the tree and list. Now for some scripting fun to take advantage of these new CEAs! :tup: :beer:

Hi Don, I'm having some trouble getting middle click on white space to work in the tree or list. My new double click script on white space is working fine. I have my script listed

Code: Select all

CEA_TreeListMiddleClickOnWhite=6
CEA_TreeListMiddleClickOnWhite_Script=load "D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts\MiddleClickWSMenu.xys"
I commented out the entire script and simply put in a one liner like #564; //Favorite folders to test and I get no response at all. I put stepping on as well and nothing registers (i.e., no errors or messages come up). I know my middle click function on my mouse works (I use X-Mouse Button Control) since I use it successfully when clicking on a filenameCEA_ListMiddleClickOnFile_Script=. Thanks.

What about my example:

Code: Select all

        CEA_TreeListMiddleClickOnWhite=6
        CEA_TreeListMiddleClickOnWhite_Script=echo <focitem>;

I tried it with echo <focitem>; and got nothing. No response of any kind with stepping on. To re-ensure my mouse middle click functions properly, I used that one liner with CEA_ListMiddleClickOnFile_Script=echo <focitem>; and it worked fine.

Yes, thank you for this. I have been using XMouseButtonControl for some time now. I made an XY profile to assign buttons to left-tilt, middle-click and right-tilt.

Here is an example profile from XMBC : left-tilt is Tablist, middle-click is HotList and right-tilt is Breadcrumb :

Now that I can use the middle-click within XY (#530 for the script entry), it is possible to add whitespace support for the tilt wheel ?

wouldn't it be more useful to have separate tweaks for List and Tree?! especially as Tree already had ability to launch script on r-click.
