Catalog & Focus

Post by jacky »

Hey,

That probably is something some users, inc. keyboards fanatics, would not really like, but I'd like to have an option (even INI Tweak) so that whenever I click on a Catalog item, after "opening" it, the focus would be automatically sent to List.
I just don't like to have my Catalog having focus, plus that way I could start typing a filename or something like that instantly, no need for another click 8)

Hasn't it been like this in the beginning of the catalog? The idea feels familiar...

hmm.. not that I remember. Just tried v4.60 & 5.00 and no, it seems Catalog always kept the focus.
But maybe you thought of it already ;)

Edit: Plus, actually if it had been like that, I think I would have said something when you'd have took it away, too ;)

Ah, now I see why it feels familiar: the focus is automatically sent to List when the catalog item is a file! :)

Oh yeah, indeed it does! Which is cool btw.
And well, I still would like to have this when i click on other kind of items, you know like folders, VF, etc :)

Awesome! :D
Thanks, although it seems you default it to 0 when it should obviously have been to 1 :mrgreen: ;)
