How to show shell items when right-clicking empty space?

Post by smi »

If I right-click a file or folder in List view, I can see the shell items (like TortoiseSVN, TortoiseGit and whatever else is installed). However, if I right-click empty space in List view, I can't see them, unlike in Windows Explorer.

Is there a way or an option to show the shell items when right-clicking empty space in the List view?

The current workaround for me is to right-click the current folder in Tree view, but being able to right-click empty space in List view would be much nicer.

Using Windows 8.1 with Update x64. XYplorer version 14.60.0100.

paste the following code into the addressbar and press ENTER:

Code: Select all

::savesettings; setkey 1, "CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite", "Settings"; exit "nr";
XYplore will save settings* and restart, afterwards, right-clicking on list's blank area will display current folder's ctx menu.

*if you'd rather restart only without saving settings, delete savesettings; from the code.
