"Go back" in active tab with the mouse

[aviaryan]

I am mostly a touch-pad/laptop user and I will like the double-click on background to go back rather than go-up one level.
There is a Alt+Left shortcut to go back but anything on keyboard will involve moving my palm from its rest position .
Is the background Double-click feature configurable ?
Is there anything better that I am missing ?

Thanks.

1) Save settings. (enter ::#182; in the addressbar)
2) Select Tools->Open config file. (::#601;)
3) Search for, and set to 1, GoUpIsBack in the opened ini file. Save ini.
4) (!IMPORTANT) Restart XYplorer without saving. (::exit "nr";)

Thanks for your help. The setting looks right but it is not working. I closed XY.exe, then changed the ini file and started it again but only in vain.
The ini file still has GoUpIsBack = 1 after multiple restarts but the background-double-click action is still "Level Up".

Right, I didn't test it out!

I got something better, but only in the next beta version:

Code: Select all

    + Custom Event Actions (CEA): Added another custom event, "Double-click 
      on the tree's/list's white space" (currently only as a tweak).
        [Settings]
        CEA_TreeListDoubleClickOnWhite=0
      You can currently choose between the following actions:
        0 = Default action (factory default)
        1 = Go Top (Go to the top of the tree/list)
        2 = Go Up
        3 = Go Back
        4 = Scroll In View (Scroll so that the focused item is in view)
        X (any other value) = Do nothing
      Note that if set to 0 the behavior is controlled by "Configuration | 
      Menus, Mouse, Safety | Mouse | Dbl-click on empty space goes up" (this 
      option will become obsolete once CEA_TreeListDoubleClickOnWhite is 
      elevated from tweak status).

Nice, that one was really missing there.

Thanks I will be waiting.

This is the setting you want:

Code: Select all

CEA_TreeListDoubleClickOnWhite=3

Sorry Don, I am confused here.
How and when should I use this setting ?
Is the beta version released supporting this setting ? The current config file doesn't have this key. I tried creating it with the value 3 but that doesn't work.

[admin]

No, it will be present in the next beta upload here in the forum.

Oh ...
You already wrote about that setting in your previous post (^^) so I thought you were directing me to do it now.
I will be waiting for the beta..

BTW, is there a chance of a customizable or a Power Right-click menu. There are many options like Folder Sizes, Save current view, tabsets, bookmarks, branch view that I will use regularly and though I can use shortcuts for them, it would be better if they are accessible from the mouse itself.
I have all of them on the toolbar but still that requires moving the mouse to the top left corner and then bringing it back.
A right-click or similar menu near the mouse will make it way faster.

Thank you Don for listening , you have made an extreme peach of a software .

That would be awesome. And vice versa, too: Disabling entries I never use. Config > Menus, Mouse, Safety only handles part of it - but not the sections New>, New Items>, Select>

@ Avi
For those of your shortcuts that trigger menu/ dropdown lists, you can make them appear at the current mouse location: PopupMenusAtSelection (in the ini-file)

Yeah, I sometimes do copy-paste from the future.

Conc. the Power Right-click menu: I'm currently working on something else with a lot of power. My brain is one-dimensional now. Wait till I'm out of the tunnel again...

@Stef123 Thanks. I can get bookmarks to show near the mouse now but still I 'll have to use the keyboard shortcut to do so .
@Don OKay

[bdeshi]

Great, another wish fixed (this time with a fix from the future )
@Don, you're dropping too many hints!! We're getting restless!!!
