Make panes equal ?

I have just had to rebuild my PC and lost all the xyplorer settings in the process (stupid I know but I put it down to age).

I used to have a toolbar button that copied the open tab in the active pane to the inactive panes. Basically make the same file view appear in both panes. I do not remember if I had to write a script to do this or used an inbuilt command but if there is an inbuilt command I cannot find it.

Any help much appreciated.

Either
#806;
if you don't have a problem to reactivate the now inactive pane again

or

Code: Select all

    $data = tab("get", "data");
    focus "PI";
    tab("new", $data);
    focus "PI";

Thank you. I had looked through all the commands but obviously had missed the syntax for "copy tab". I was thinking about panes not tabs. There is no problem in reactivation the "now inactive pane" as the same command just flips control back.

I've often wished for a "Clone tab in other pane" choice on the Tab right-click dropdown menu. I need it much more often than "Clone tab" though of course I can use that and then drag the tab to the other pane.

Well since you can already fully customize that menu via CEA, there is nothing stopping you from achieving that.

Ok good - I've never looked at CEA, but now that I do... it's complex. I may dig in.
