Re: go to parent directory with backspace

2012-05-17 Thread Alan Corey

 Yep, have another better way.

 F9 - Options - Panel options - [x] Lynx-like motion
 NB: panel listing mode shouldn't be a 'Brief file list'

 ... and you will navigate as well by left arrow (leave directory)
 and right arrow (enter to directory). An in my opinion, this
 behaviour much better, rather than navigation by 'Backspace' key.

I haven't seen that work in Total Commander, but as long as we're on
the subject of comparing, here's one thing I miss: In Total Commander
you can quickly sync up your left and right panes to the same place by
using the drive letter dropdown, even if they were both already on the
same drive to start with.  Is there a quick way in mc to set one pane
to where the other one is?

Unless things have changed in a newer version that I have not yet 
installed, this is an old feature. Use Alt-i to make the other panel to 
show the same directory, and you can also use Alt-o to make the other 
panel go to the parent directory of the current one. 

BTW, these two items are well documented.

go to parent directory with backspace

2012-05-16 Thread Jabba Laci
Hi,

In Total Commander there is a very handy feature: with backspace you
can quickly jump to the parent directory. It'd be nice if this feature
were added to MC too. If the bottom command line is empty and
backspace is pressed, it could be interpreted this way.

Or is there another shortcut for going back to parent? Pressing Home +
Enter is 2 keys :)

Thanks,

Laszlo
