Tab right white click - Show full paths

Post by highend »

I have set my tab captions to custom with: <drive>:\..\<folder>
because I'm using a maximum tab width and want these paths in the tab title to be short

But when I right click on empty white space in the tab bar, the context menu shows exactly these shortened paths

Could we get a tweak or a switch in that context menu (like the existing: Tab Switching by Mouse Wheel) that allows us to show the full path instead of the custom template one?

Hmm, the paths should be there in brackets:

Yeah, but at some point (because it includes the name of the tab) you're wasting space so that the real path in brackets isn't visible anymore (at least, not fully). Sure, at some point it will be condensed if it gets too long but that's normally not an issue, I design path lengths to fit) :)

The path in brackets is currently displayed elliptically if it is longer than 60 characters. I could raise that value...

Yeah, less effort, same effect. I'd take that, too :tup:

The alternative would be, add another CEA for the "Clicking on White" event: Right-click on white in tab bar (which imho is missing anyway).
Then I can add whatever I want there (normally my tab manager script). It's just way more natural than double clicking / middle click to get the context menu...
