Go to previous/next sibling folder

Today, I realized that I had been missing this functionality for years, both as buttons and as keyboard shortcuts, when the focus is not in the tree.
Am I the only one?

Yes.
It‘s your product. Since you miss it you should add it.

I miss this sometimes because I have this function in Total Commander

As someone who doesn't use the tree, it is handy when I remember it.

Really? Can't find anything about it. Is there a default keyboard shortcut?

The functions are started as TC buttons, no keyboard shortcut.

This is what I implemented for a new user in 2023. It’s not elegant but simple. . .
#523; sel "+1"; if(exists(<curitem>) == "2") {#160;};

its just 2 functions , assignable to a shortcut via User Commands :
Code: Select all
"_ : go_down"
go_down();
function go_down()
$parentFolders = listfolder(gettoken(<curpath>, -2, "\",,1), , 2);
$count_folders = gettoken($parentFolders, "count", "|"); // count all folders
$cur_index = gettokenindex(<curpath>, $parentFolders, , ""); // Index of curent folder
$next_index = $cur_index+1;
if($next_index <= $count_folders) // if current index is less than max ix of folders
{
$item = gettoken($parentFolders, $next_index, "|");
goto $item;
}
else {break;
}
//
"_ : go_up"
go_up();
function go_up()
$parentFolders = listfolder(gettoken(<curpath>, -2, "\",,1), , 2);
$count_folders = gettoken($parentFolders, "count", "|"); // count all folders
$cur_index = gettokenindex(<curpath>, $parentFolders, , ""); // Index of curent folder
$next_index = $cur_index-1;
if($next_index <= $count_folders) // if current index is less than max ix of folders
{
$item = gettoken($parentFolders, $next_index, "|");
goto $item;
}
else {break;
}

Sort Folders Apart...
(Will this not be added to the VB version? No problem, I will recommend the tB version to new users.)
