Change drive

[mumajs]

Hello All,

how you quickly change from drive to another drive? I found out it is a little bit tricky without mouse. Also for mouse I had to add something to toolbar to have it quicker. I am mostly working with keyboard and I am wondering what is the quickest process to change to another drive.

Thank you for any help.

Multiple options exist, but one option is to add a custom user command and assign whatever shortcut key you want to it, and use this for the script:

Code: Select all

button "drives";

That will popup a menu at the cursor with available drives listed then you can just use up/down to select which one you want.

or use the Goto section of UDC and put in individual drives, if you want different shortcut keys for each individual drive.

Thank you very much... it is much better than I did.. I seted up shortcut for Dirves... in the customize keyboard shortcuts but it always poped up in the left top corner. This one method via user command is a lot of better. It is really showed in the mouse cursor position.
What is not so comfortable is the speed. When it is showed first time it is slow.... then every another in the short time is quick, but the first one or the one later is very slow. It could be because I have some drives mapped from company network and they are not available in my home. xyplorer seems to be doing something before it shows the drives list. Do you know what and how to have it faster? It should be doing something when I want to go to non existing drive, but not when showing the list.

Thank you again!

In case that gives you ideas...

I have a different approach: I've created a user-defined command for each drive I use to open the drive in a new tab, and I assigned each command a shortcut:

Code: Select all

tab("new", "C:\");
