Closing all other tabs in the destination?

Help & Support
1

The most important shortcuts for my daily work are related to opening and closing tabs in the source as well as in the destination pane.

The "Go TABCLOSE" command has a "dest" argument to let it be applied to the destination pane but unfortunately the same doesn't work with "Go TABCLOSEALL".

I have four shortcuts configured performing the following commands but the last one (CTRL-ALT-Q) doesn't work at all. And important to mention that the third one (CTRL-Q) isn't listed in the manual but works very fine. :sunglasses:

CTRL-W
Go TABCLOSE

CTRL-ALT-W
Go TABCLOSE=dest

CTRL-Q
Go TABCLOSEALL=other

CTRL-ALT-Q
Go TABCLOSEALL=dest,other

"other" is not a valid keyword for the Go TABCLOSEALL command - what is it that you think it does?

I want to close all other tabs except the active one in source or destination file display. That is one of my favorite hotkeys bound to CTRL-Q / CTRL-ALT-Q (directly aside CTRL-W / CTRL-ALT-W which only closes the active tab of the source or destination file display).

Actually I wrote the hotkey without having a look into the manual and Go TABCLOSEALL=other works very well even if it isn't mentioned in the user manual. :slight_smile: To be honest I didn't recognized that the argument isn't valid until I had a look into the manual to find out why Go TABCLOSEALL=other,dest doesn't work similar for the destination file display.

You could change the command to Go TABCLOSEALL=moo and it would do the same thing :slight_smile:

Fantastic! One more hidden feature that isn't mentioned in the usermanual. :wink: I even tried Go TABCLOSEALL=icecream and it works very well too. :sunglasses:

Seriously: I Never tried this command without any argument since I assumed that this actually closes all tabs (make the dual to a single file display lister). But obviously this doesn't make sense since there are other commands to control that.

:open_mouth:

Thus the only feedback I can give is that it would be nice to have a Go TABCLOSEALL=dest that performs the same action in the destination file display as well.

This seems to work:

Set SOURCE=Toggle Go TABCLOSEALL Set SOURCE=Toggle
