Go to same folder

Post by Slowfox »

Sometimes I need to see the same folder in both panes.

Is it possible to navigate there quickly?

For example "Go to Same Folder".

Thanks.

Is it possible to make this function a Toolbar Button?
Thanks.

You can by adding a User Button to the Toolbar and setting the On click-field to:

Code: Select all

As nas8e9 said, the process is very similar to what you were given in your other thread http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7615

BTW, this easily could have been an extension of that thread instead of creating this new variant.

Also, another prior thread that could have been quickly found that relates is this:

We don't mind helping new users but we also like people to do some research before posting here, especially before making a new thread...so please help us out by looking thru menus, Help, XY website, and do some forum searching first, ok? Thanks much!

#810; works. Thank you.

I was looking for the function as per instructions in http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7615
but I could not find it.

Where did #810 come from?

Is there an easier way to find these commands and shortcuts?

Thanks.

You followed what was said in http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 897#p68897, right?

That CKS Cheat Sheet has everything you likely need and more...keeping a copy is handy to have!
It also can help you remember/locate where other menu commands are and if they exist.

The other way to have found the #810 was simply: Customize Keyboard Shortcuts>category=Panes>select "go to in other pane"
The Command ID# is shown on that panel...got it?

The way to get command ID's is pretty much as highend posted in the thread you linked to:
1. select Tools > Customize Keyboard Shortcuts;
2. enable Options > Copy Cheat Sheet > Include Command IDs;
3. select Options > Copy Cheat Sheet > "Category / Command, Shortcut(s), Description, Scope"; you'll now get a dialog informing you that the cheat sheet has been copied to the clipboard;
4. paste the cheat sheet in a text editor;
5. search for the command you're looking for and note the numeric Command ID (Notepad and other text editors allow you to search, in Notepad's case through Edit > Find).

Unless you choose that specific option in step 3, you'll only get 150 commands instead of the full 579, listed in the cheat sheet.
