Duplicate tab right click menu option

Post by cmcquil »

Hi,
I am a paying customer, great product.

In all other file managers I have used, a right click on a tab provides the option for both "duplicate tab" (which duplicates present tab) and "new tab" which opens a new tab to the default (typically home) location. I have asked for this feature previous but did not hear back from the development team.

To summarize I would like to see both "duplicate tab" and "new tab" options in the right mouse click context menu.

Take care,
chris

The reason why this makes sense is that you can define
Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | New tab path

which will practically remove the cloning feature from the "New Tab" context menu entry (or the double left/middle mouse clicks if configured)

OK, but what should "New tab" do then when it is not defined? It should not clone when there is a separate Clone Tab command...

It could open e.g. "This PC".

Alternatively, "clone tab" could be shown only when "new tab path" is _not_ empty and would retain its functionality otherwise

OK. I think "This PC" feels more natural.

Don't forget to add "clone tab" to
Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | On double-click
Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | On middle-click

afterwards :tup:
