Go to previous/next sibling folder

Today, I realized that I had been missing this functionality for years, both as buttons and as keyboard shortcuts, when the focus is not in the tree.

Am I the only one?

[Filehero]

Yes.

It‘s your product. Since you miss it you should add it.

[Horst]

I miss this sometimes because I have this function in Total Commander

As someone who doesn't use the tree, it is handy when I remember it.

Really? Can't find anything about it. Is there a default keyboard shortcut?

For you, Horst.

This is made with the TC Add-on TCFS2.
The functions are started as TC buttons, no keyboard shortcut.
TCFS2 provides its on script engine.
It's free as all TC add-ons and plugins.

Well, it will be cooler here.

This is what I implemented for a new user in 2023. It’s not elegant but simple. . .
#523; sel "+1"; if(exists(<curitem>) == "2") {#160;};

Seems to go up. Not to sibling.

its just 2 functions , assignable to a shortcut via User Commands :

Code: Select all

"_ : go_down"    
	go_down();
	function go_down()      
		$parentFolders = listfolder(gettoken(<curpath>, -2, "\",,1), , 2);
		$count_folders = gettoken($parentFolders, "count", "|"); // count all folders

		$cur_index = gettokenindex(<curpath>, $parentFolders, , ""); //  Index of curent folder
		$next_index = $cur_index+1;
		if($next_index <= $count_folders) // if current index is less  than max ix of folders
			{
			$item = gettoken($parentFolders, $next_index, "|"); 
			goto $item;
			}
		else {break;
	}
//
"_ : go_up"	   
	go_up();
	function go_up()        
		$parentFolders = listfolder(gettoken(<curpath>, -2, "\",,1), , 2);
		$count_folders = gettoken($parentFolders, "count", "|"); // count all folders		

		$cur_index = gettokenindex(<curpath>, $parentFolders, , ""); //  Index of curent folder
		$next_index = $cur_index-1;
		if($next_index <= $count_folders) // if current index is less  than max ix of folders
			{
			$item = gettoken($parentFolders, $next_index, "|");  
			goto $item;
			}
		else {break;
	}

Sort Folders Apart...
(Will this not be added to the VB version? No problem, I will recommend the tB version to new users.)

[admin]

Yep, tb only.
