list navigation: cyclic arrow key selection?

Post by Filehero »

Is there a setting/tweak to allow navigation keys wrapping the list browsing with arrow down/up keys in a last/first and first/last way? I can't believe it's not yet supported.

There's an old wish thread which went OT.


Thanks,
FH

Not possible at the moment. I guess that makes it a wish?

hey XY already has a similar looping selection, when the floating preview is open. So close.

Yes, and it makes kind of sense in the FP (looping through images, e.g.). But generally? I personally find it rather counter intuitive. A list is not a circle. Who would use this, and why?

Say I began serial renaming in the middle of the list, and want to keep renaming the topmost items after reaching the end.
Binge previewing images in thumbnails mode.

Really it's just a shortcut for the home key in a very specific situation.

a lot many unique one-off ideas could be realized if you released special keys like enter, space, backspace, up/down etc to cks you know. :whistle:

The up/down keys are my major navigation tools for lists. When I have a file list with the last file(s) selected pressing the down arroy key is simply the quickest way to select the first item(s). For me the list is a chain. Wether it‘s closed or open it remains a chain.
