Title: Lynx-like motion
Post by: 32MB on December 23, 2019, 14:30:11
Dear Developers,

please add the configurable Lynx-like motion:

Cursor right - open folder/zip/etc.
Cursor left - leave folder (no matter where the cursor is)

Thank you

In the Folder Tree works this. I needed to google "Lynx-like motion"...

+1 on this
my posts both in "support and feedback"
http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,3529.0.html
and in "feature requests"
http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,3585.0.html

Currently it is not possible to even have this setup manually as there is no keyboard action in mapper to "enter directory".

You can create it your self with script

Create two user defined command of MultiScript type

(Enter Focus Folder)
Code: [Select]
@var $folder = GetSourceFocusPath();
MC.Explorer.Goto SOURCE="{$folder}"
Then assign to left arrow

(Enter Parent Folder)
Code: [Select]
@var $folder = GetSourcePath();pa
$folder = PathGetPathPart($folder, 1);
$folder = PathGetPathPart($folder, 0);
MC.Explorer.Goto SOURCE="{$folder}"
Then assign to right arrow

Thanks a lot! it works!

Any chance this could be built-in in the future release as an option? or at least as pre-defined "user defined commands"?
thank you!
