Coming from Salamander mainly because of lacking FTP features and no UAC I miss the opportunity to access favorite folders using the keyboard.
Is it possible (and if so, how) to create a shortcut that focuses on the favorites bar and then access the folders there using index numbers = 1 for the 1st, 8 for the 8th folder and/or arrow keys?
Or is there a built-in option I haven't discovered yet?
When switching to Opus, I changed my way of accessing "frequent folders" (which basically what favorites are). I'm now using the aliases for that. You just hit / and start naming your alias.
If you really need something more organised (with folders to sort/group your favorites into categories), this is probably doable with a FAYT script.
You might search for something like this in the Buttons/Scripts section.
Last resort: use the logic behind this FAYT script and adapt it to display favorites instead of tab groups. The Opus object model should be able to get you parse the favorites in approximately the same way I did with tab groups.
Favorites can have hotkeys assigned to them, but I second what PassThePeas says about using aliases. That has become the main way I navigate to folders I use a lot, and I've made single-letter aliases to go to them quickly (e.g. typing /d will take me to my downloads folder).
Thank you, PassThePeas and Leo! Just creating the aliases I need and wonder if there is a way to quickly duplicate an alias if one needs a slightliy different one.
Duplicate option within Preferences / Frequently Used Paths / Folder Aliases?
@jinsight No idea why I overlooked this. Thank you!
