Thank you

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move the active tab to the next one in the set of tabs on the active pane. In other multi-tab file managers I've used there were commands to do this, such as
ctrl-PgUp / ctrl-PgDown
or
ctrl-alt-LeftArrow / ctrl-alt-RtArrow

I could not find a shortcut for this in MC. I tried to set up a custom shortcut, but the two actions were not even in the list of actions available to be assigned to custom shortcuts.

Being a keyboard jockey, I much prefer not to have to reach for the mouse to switch tabs.

Thank you

Brilliant! Thank you.

Hello

I am using MC Portable 64 bit version 6.2 build 2147.

When I exit MC and then re-enter, I find that all panes that were open on drives other than C (I was using network drives H and N and USB stick drive F, on which the MC portable itself lives) are open at C:\, so they have lost the info about what dir path was open, while panes that were open at a subdir of C:\ open at the same subdir that was open upon exit, so those ones had not lost the dir path info.

Is there something I can do to make all panes reopen at the dir path that was open on exit?

Thank you very much

Andrew

Thank you very much Alan and Matthias

I downloaded the portable version again and now I have both the missing menu entries.
Alan I will certainly try using that debugger you mention because I want to try setting up a few Multi Script custom commands once I get the hang of MC.

Thank you Alan for both your posts.

I hope somebody will be able to tell me why my portable version does not have Extensions > Multi-Rename or Tools > File Links

Both my USB (Portable) and my hard drive (non-portable) versions are v6.2, build 2147. I am running Windows 7 on an Intel PC.

I tried your code, first as a Custom Command and later as Multi-Script but it refuses to do anything when I call it by the assigned HotKey Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L. I tried assigning a different HotKey Ctrl+Alt+L but that seemed to pull up some different command for finding files, even though it did not say there was a conflict when I assigned the HotKey.

Hello

I have just installed MC on my PC and the portable version on a USB stick and I am trying to create a command that creates a shortcut.

However the Tools > File Links menu option that is in the non-Portable version is not there in the portable version. Is that deliberate*? I sometimes need to work on a PC on which I have a folder to which I have read-write access, but I cannot install programs on the computer. So I was hoping to use MC Portable to organise my folder structure. But shortcuts are a key part of how I make the hierarchy easy to navigate, so I'm hoping that MC portable can still do them.

Since the Create Link menu option was not available in MC portable I tried setting a Custom Command in the portable version to create a link in the same directory, next to the link target (so that the shortcut could then be moved to where it was needed), using

MC.Utils.CreateLink LNKSRC="${targetpath}${sourcefocusname} -  shortcut"   LNKTRG="${focusfilepath}"   LNKTYPE=4

but this did not create any link.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

* I notice that Multi Rename is also not in the menu for the portable version. Is that also deliberate?
