But isn't it "hard" to count, say, 27 items mentally? Isn't it easier to just press the arrows repeatedly? I think that's a question the maintainers are going to ask you. (Otherwise I don't see a problem with your code. But you'd want to change the "- 55" to "- 'A' + 10" and remove the curly brackets (that's their laws).) Anyway, you can do all such tweakings in mc^2 without touching the C code. Here, I "translated" your code to Lua: https://github.com/mooffie/mc/blob/lua-4.8.14-port/src/lua/tests/snippets/listbox_AZ.lua I've also created a new module today that lets you associate hotkeys with the directories there. Again, no C coding is required. Here's a screenshot (note the yellow arrows): http://www.typo.co.il/~mooffie/mc-lua/docs/html/guide/SCREENSHOTS.md.html#Find_as_you_type__hotkeys__clock (Isn't this feature what you *really* want?) > > I use Directory hotlist a lot. Constantly, really. A few weeks ago somebody said he's using the "File edit/view history" of Dos Navigator "several hundred times a day"[1]. After implementing it (better) in mc^2 I can say the same. I mention it because many times (thanks to its "Quick filter" entry[2]) one can use it as a replacement for the Directory hotlist dialog.
