Focused vs Selected, for SC Timestamp.
Posted: 26 Nov 2025 00:29
What is the proper way(s) to make item focused yet not selected?
Help file for timestamp() has an example:
How can i make this in comfortable way?! I mean the only 2 ways i ever saw focused and selected to be different, are:
1- if i select one item and then select some group of items with mouse rectangle = which means i Must define focused before selecting and can't use any Ctrl+/Shift+;
2- if i use Checkbox Selection, which actually the only mode that clearly differs focused vs selected, but this Demands this special selection mode enabled, which usually wouldn't be On all the time.
So how can i first select some items(in various ways, with modifiers of mouse) and then get some one item focused?
+Side question about Timestamp: while experimenting with focused/selected in Checkbox mode i noticed time is not shifted equally - why?
BTW, i noticed it's always same proper when shift is equal(2,4,6) and 1sec different for Modified when shift is unequal(1,3,5). Same for negative values.

Code: Select all
Examples with cloned dates between files
Set all three dates of all selected List items to match those of the focused item:
timestamp , <focitem>;1- if i select one item and then select some group of items with mouse rectangle = which means i Must define focused before selecting and can't use any Ctrl+/Shift+;
2- if i use Checkbox Selection, which actually the only mode that clearly differs focused vs selected, but this Demands this special selection mode enabled, which usually wouldn't be On all the time.
