[SOLVED] Focus pane when clicking on tree

After opening a folder by clicking on the tree, is there any way to put the focus automatically on the pane where the folder has been opened?

Afaik, no
A tweak like:
Code: Select all
; Tweak: auto-focus the list after left-clicking on a tree item
SetFocusToListAfterTree=1
would be nice...

I would support this as well. Usually I click on the tree and start typing for a file name. As it is now, those keystrokes will cause the tree to start searching instead of the pane.

My problem exactly.
A tweak would be great then.

Hi Don,
Would you be willing to implement that?

OK, will do. FYI, comes almost exactly 10 years after the tweak SetFocusToListAfterCatalog. So I guess it's okay to add another SetFocusToList... tweak now.

from me, too! A great relieve that you can type to filter immediately afterwards...

How about a tweak for address bar too?

For those whose come up on this post, the tweak to use is "SetFocusTo".
Code: Select all
v18.00.0004 - 2017-06-13 12:32
+ Tweak: Unified the various "Set Focus To..." tweaks in one bit field key:
SetFocusTo=(bit field)
1 = Tree > List
2 = Catalog > List
4 = Address Bar > List (this one is NEW)
For example, to enable all the focus shifts you simply add 1+2+4=7:
SetFocusTo=7
- These old tweaks have been removed (replaced by SetFocusTo):
SetFocusToListAfterTree
SetFocusToListAfterCatalog
I didn't see that you implemented it Don, thanks a lot!
