I use Directory hotlist a lot. Constantly, really.
It's always bugged me that I can only access the first 10 items with the keys 0-9. After sitting on my TODO list for about 2 years, I finally had a scratch at the issue. Keys a-z are very often used by the menu of the dialog the listbox is in, but keys A-Z are not. So I did this: [code] --- lib/widget/listbox.c~ 2015-03-20 11:06:04.000000000 -0700 +++ lib/widget/listbox.c 2015-05-24 09:21:52.000000000 -0700 @@ -328,10 +328,15 @@ listbox_key (WListbox * l, int key) return MSG_NOT_HANDLED; /* focus on listbox item N by '0'..'9' keys */ - if (key >= '0' && key <= '9') + if ((key >= '0' && key <= '9')||(key >= 'A' && key <= 'Z')) { int oldpos = l->pos; - listbox_select_entry (l, key - '0'); + if (key >= 'A' && key <= 'Z') { + listbox_select_entry (l, key - 55); + } else { + listbox_select_entry (l, key - '0'); + } + /* need scroll to item? */ if (abs (oldpos - l->pos) > WIDGET (l)->lines) [/code] Diffed from 4.8.14 tarball. It seems to work fine. Now I can access the top 36 items instead of just the top 10. But, of course, it affects all listboxes program-wide. It seems OK to me so far. My question this: Does this seem like a useful feature (ie ticket-worthy) or am I missing some far-reaching consequence I have not uncovered yet? -- Peace and Cheer _______________________________________________ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
