Create a script in the .\Data\Scripts folder of XY:
Name it e.g.: Open_folder_externally.xys

Code: Select all

    $link = property("#ShortcutTarget", "<curitem>");
    if ($link != "" && exists($link) == 2) {
        run """<xy>"" /new ""$link""";
    } elseif  (exists("<curitem>") == 2) {
        run """<xy>"" /new ""<curitem>""";
    }

put this code into that file.

Remove the keyboard shortcut for Ctrl+Enter
Currently assigned to: #162 File | Open Focused Item

Now go to User - Manage Commands
Category: Load Script File
Create a new one
Caption: <Whatever you like>
Script File: Open_folder_externally
(You don't need to specify a path or an extension if it's in the script path)

Assign Ctrl+Enter to it.

Done.

if(exists("<curitem>") == 2) {
   run """<xy>"" /new ""<curitem>"" /script=""::loadlayout('thumbs');""";}
