A Few Questions

Post by mustbe »

currently on trial. impressive so far.

1.) is there an option/command to swap "all tabs in left pane" with "all tabs in right pane"?. the current command #811 only swaps the visible tabs.

2.) color coding, is it possible for color coded files to get bold fonts?

3.) what's the command number for the menu that shows when you right click the drop down icon in address bar? (I want to get it through keyboard shortcut).

4.) possible to create a submenu for my customized menus? all I can see is the option for a separator (-).

5.) possible to assign a command to CEA_ListRightClickOnWhite? (would be great if I can show my own menu)

thanks for taking the time to read this post.

1.)
I don't know if there is any command number.
You can resolve command number by using "Help > Make list of commands..." and "Tools > Customize Keyboard shortcuts"


2.)
That what pop-up by "right click the drop down icon in address bar" is the same as if you click at "My Computer" ("Arbeitsplatz") icon in the tool bar.

This you can counterfeiting by using the button() command with parameter "myco" like:
:: button myco;
(try that script in the XYplorer address bar)

The parameters for button() you can lockup via "Tools > Customize Toolbar..."
- first add an "User button #x"
- then right click that user button at the toolbar and chose "Customize Toolbar..." from there now.


3.)
To use this now via shortcut do:
- use "User > Manage commands..."
- "Run Script" section
- New > Add
- Script: button myco;
- Click [Assign Keyboard shortcut...]


4.)
In future please open one thread for one question.

Unfortunately only via calling an second script as sub menu. (and from there have an link back to main script)

Not yet, but that are progenitors of an coming CEA command. (Custom Event Action)

Sorry, but I disagree a bit on that one...it really depends (to me) on how many points/questions are asked and how complex the potential answers are.

And this was NOT the typical trollish first-timer "I WANT/demand XY to do a,b,c,d,e" but more of a "How do I do a,b,c" so I was willing to accept it as posted...I do agree that in general, it's better to keep threads separate but there are times when it doesn't make sense and clutters up the forum.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

the menu from the drop down arrow is actually different from the myco menu. I think it's got bread crumbs included. But no biggie, i just thought there were some more commands besides the list from "help>make list of commands".

Thanks for the replies folks. I appreciate the warm welcome. Cheers
