Hello,
I was unable to find these two commands - Open in new tab/ other pane accessible through item's context menu via right button in shortcut configuration - is there any way to map those two actions to a shortcut?
Thank you for help.

Thank you for your answer.
The problem is however, that I'm unable to locate these two commands in "Action manager", I ran thorough all of them and I could not locate them.

There are no direct shortcuts for this. But:
Open folder in new tab: Hold SHIFT when opening (dblclick) it. (Tree and List)
Open folder in new tab: Hold CTRL+ALT when opening (dblclick) it. (Tree only)
EDIT: The above was not really correct. It works like this:
Code: Select all
Tree:
Alt+Click: Open in Other Pane
Shift+Alt+Click: Open in New Tab in Other Pane
List:
Ctrl+Shift+DblClick: Open file or folder in other pane

Yes thank you, my biggest problem is I don't use mouse except for games several times a year, and this is the only thing I'm missing from Total Commander, there it works by default via Ctrl + arrows. Well maybe I could look at scripts and try to do something like go in -> open thin in second pane -> go back, but that is not the most ideal solution I think
Or I just make simple AHK script that uses context menu.

In TC, can you also open files (non-folders) in the other tab/pane?
EDIT: Hey, I just saw there is a way to assign a KS to "Open Folder in New Tab" (it will also preselect a file when you trigger it on a file):
CKS (F9) / Miscellaneous / Go To / Open Folder in New Tab

OK, to finish this thread and leave TC in the dust I added the following:
Code: Select all
+ CKS | Miscellaneous | Go To: Now there are three commands:
Open Folder in New Tab
Open Folder in Other Pane (NEW)
Open Folder in Other Pane in New Tab (NEW)
Note that all three commands work for Tree and List, and in case
of the List they work not only for folders but also for files
(which will be focused and selected in the target tab).

Hello Everybody,
ist it possible to make this shortcut to a default setting?
List:
"Ctrl+Shift+DblClick: Open file or folder in other pane"
Like Tree left, Active pane on Top and when i click on the Folder (in the Top Pane) the content will be shown in the bottom Pane.
it is very inconvenient when you're on the phone or something (Ctrl+Shift+DblClick) and want to browse through the folders...
I'm still in trial mode - so i'm very new to this program. It would be nearly perfect if this feature would be possible...
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the club!
This is not possible, but what about this: Hold ALT and click a folder in Tree and it is opened in the inactive pane.
