Cannot select items

I cannot select items if I click on their relative rows, they can only be selected if I click on the item itself.

For example, if I click on the date it does not select the item. This worked on the native file explorer but not this one. Help?

The option is here:

Tools | Customize List | Full Row Select

Great. How do I make it a global setting? Currently I have to do it folder by folder

Try this: Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Apply list styles globally

It is still applying per folder instead of globally...

Are you using Folder View Settings?

it worked! This made things so much easier. Thank you a lot, you have been very helpful...

Since you have given me your attention, could you also tell me how to scroll horizontally in a long list? I want to scroll horizontally by holding shift+scroll.

You mean Shift+Wheel? No, that's not a feature.

So there is no way to scroll horizontally unless the list is short? Bummer. Thanks a lot for the help.

What about using the scroll bar?

If you weren't aware Ctrl+Arrow is by default how you can do this with the keyboard if it helps.

Sorry. The scrollbar does work, but I meant using a customizable hotkey.

Thanks, but that is not convenient when my hand is on the mouse.

I find using the Right Ctrl button+Arrow pretty easy with my left hand, while keeping my right on the mouse, admittedly its scroll speed is slightly slow, but really why I was telling you those keys was because it opens up other alternatives, like setting up a script something like the commands below to run via a single shortcut key you prefer or through 3rd party software to work via maybe a 5th mouse button if you have one or something like that?, or add them to the whitespace context menu etc... there are multiple ways to invoke them.

Code: Select all

focus; sendkeys '^{Right 50}';
focus; sendkeys '^{Left 50}';

Then get yourself a mouse that does horizontal scroll by tilting the wheel to left or right. My Logitech M705 does this.
