Click Switch/Quick Switch Functionality for XYplorer Without the Need for Admin Rights

[LBCOOLG]

I am unable to run one of my favourite programs Listary Pro at work due to lack of admin rights.

One great feature of Listary is called click switch. It works by doing the following.

When you open a file save as dialogue for any file you are working on and press the shortcut CTRL + G this automatically switches the location of the file save dialogue to that of the latest folder you are currently in, in whatever file explorer you use including XYplorer.

To emulate this functionality, I currently use a free autohotkey script called QuickSwitch or I use another program Recentx both of which run portably. However, none of these programs allow the press of the CTRL + G combination. Instead, you have to manually go to your file explorer into the folder you need to be in and then switch back to the file save as dialogue for the file you are trying to save and this will jump you directly to the folder you want to be in, instead of you manually having to navigate to that folder. This is still cumbersome. It would be great if XYplorer contained a feature where if you open a file save as dialogue and hit a hotkey combination of your choice - e.g. CTRL+G - you were jumped in the file save as dialogue to whatever folder you currently have open in XYplorer. Also, it would be ideal if all this was achieved for the portable version of XYplorer and without the need to have admin rights! QuickSwitch and Recentx run portably without the need for admin rights.

Additionally, Listary would add a search box under the file save as dialogue that allowed you to search for the folder you want to be in and then jump straight to it in the file save as dialogue by clicking it in the search box and also to pin favourite folders in a list and jump straight to them. This may not be possible to achieve for XYplorer without admin rights, but if this could be added as a feature, especially without the need for admin rights for it to work, this would be great.

If more information is needed for this feature request, please let me know and I will elaborate.

QuickSwitch is on GitHub.

gepruts/QuickSwitch: Why don't you just add that hotkey to it, it's AHK and the source is in the repository...

QuickSwitch needs to switch windows even if you add a hotkey, it seems that the last window id is not saved.
