In Windows Explorer on Windows 11, right clicking a vertical scroll bar will show a context menu like this -
This gives me the ability to quickly get to the top or bottom or any other position in a large list of files.
Pressing home/end on the keyboard in Dopus will return to the top/bottom of the list but is it possible to add these options to a right click of the scroll bar?
I've never understood the purpose of that menu. Isn't it quicker to drag the scrollbar to the top than to right-click and select "top" in a menu?
It is not quicker with a folder of a couple of thousand files to drag the scroll bar. OTOH, right clicking on the scroll bar and clicking on "top" is two clicks. I use a three button to move to the top or bottom of the list of files.
The window size, and thus distance you have to drag the scrollbar, doesn't change based on the number of files in the current folder. Only difference is how big the element you have to drag is, but it has a minimum size which is similar to the height of menu item you have to aim for if you do it via the menu, so that seems about equal to me even in the worst case.
You could add them to the selected file right-click menu.
Something we're planning is being able to jump to the top/bottom via a quick middle click on the column headers, since you often want to do that right after a left-click to change the sort order.
Thanks Leo for the reply and all your hard work.
I’ve seen on some websites a quick “jump-to-top” transparent arrow which floats on top in the footer area of the page. You can see an example here -
Obviously, this is coded using html, css and java but you could probably implement the same using the QT library in C++.
I very much like the idea of a jump to the top/bottom via a quick middle click on the column headers.
