"Go to..." prepopulate with current location

Hello, I've recently updated my XYplorer installation to the latest version and found that "Go to from here" has been removed.

I previously used that command (bound to Ctrl-L) to copy my current location address into clipboard (because I hide my address bar, so I do Ctrl-L-C). Now there is only the command to "Go to..." which works similarly but whenever that dialog window is called, it shows the last entry I entered there. Can this dialog window instead show the current location whenever it is invoked?

I hide my address bar to get a very minimal clean interface, because that information is already in the breadcrumb bar. Thank you for consideration.

Recently? It doesn't even exist in v25 (which came out 15 months ago)...

Never used it, doesn't know which sense it makes to prepopulate it with the current path, but why don't you use a script and assign it the same hotkey?

Code: Select all

    copytext <curpath>;
    sendkeys "^v";
    #531;

Well, my previous version was 23.00 and it had that option. :)

That script works well! Cheers.

Actually, would it be possible to get the current path into the dialog window without using the clipboard? I lose whatever was previously copied otherwise.

I tried modifying the script to send <curpath> but couldn't get it working...

Will only work with text^^

Code: Select all

    $clp = <clp>;
    copytext <curpath>;
    sendkeys "^v";
    #531;
    copytext $clp;
