Right click on white in file list

[w64bit]

Is it possible, please, to add to Custom event actions > Right click on white in file list, a new item:
Standard Windows menu.

[admin]

Currently not. Never found the correct way to show that menu. Might give it another shot in the 64-bit version later.

... or at least a slim version of menu, named Pop up Slim Edit menu, containing only:

Paste
Undo (copy, move, delete, rename)
Redo (copy, move, delete, rename)
Search Everything (from voidtools, if installed)
New > Folder
New > Shortcut
Properties

The breadcrumb bar hamburger lets you build any menu you can dream of.

Support for creating new shortcuts (.lnk) would be useful. Having it available as a command (e.g. #897) would be even better, so it could be used from toolbars, hotkeys, scripts, User Commands, and menus.

1) Right click on white in file list | New | New Shortcut...

2) #241: Edit | New | New Shortcut...

[Norn]

Sorry, mentioning .lnk may have been misleading. I was referring to the "New Shortcut" item itself. Currently only #240 (New Items) is available for this kind of use case.

[admin]

Sorry, I still don't get it.

[Norn]

I was referring to Explorer's folder background "New" menu (ShellNew), not XYplorer's own New menu.

[admin]

What do you want to do that you think is not possible?

[Norn]

Many new users have asked me where to find this menu item. I usually tell them to add templates to the NewItems folder. It would be nice if Explorer's ShellNew items could be added to the folder background context menu.

[admin]

I never really got it to work correctly but there is an undocumented way to show that right-click-on-white context menu. Tweak:

Code: Select all

CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite=99

Just tried it in the 32-bit version and it works quite well.
