CEA: Whitespace Double Click
CEA: Whitespace Double Click
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?.

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
+ 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.

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
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.
Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
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.

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
bump, a reply to either original query would be appreciated

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
Here I go. I'm sorry, the .NET shit really threw me back. So many unanswered posts!
I'm now plowing thru it...
BTW: A BIG THANKS TO THE MODERATORS WHO ANSWERED SO MANY POSTS IN THE RECENT MONTHS WHEN I WAS OFF TO .NET.
And your wish: Goody, will add it right now. Also that Paper Folder Up wish.

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
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!

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
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 I commented out the entire script and simply put in a one liner like
Code: Select all
CEA_TreeListMiddleClickOnWhite=6
CEA_TreeListMiddleClickOnWhite_Script=load "D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts\MiddleClickWSMenu.xys"
#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.Windows 11, 22H2 Build 22621.1555 at 100% 2560x1440

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
What about my example:
Code: Select all
CEA_TreeListMiddleClickOnWhite=6
CEA_TreeListMiddleClickOnWhite_Script=echo <focitem>;

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
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.Windows 11, 22H2 Build 22621.1555 at 100% 2560x1440
Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
All set now. Thanks Don.

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
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 ?

Re: CEA: Whitespace Double Click
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.
