Is this something that can be done, with or without a modifier key?

hmm, good question. I'm not the one to answer.

dragging doesn't seem to work thou right-clicks do.

You can hold Alt and click the item to open it in a new tab.

Full list of qualifiers (unless I've forgotten any):

- \<none\>  
Usual action of going to the folder in the current tab.

- Alt  
Open a **new tab** for it.

- Ctrl  
Go to it on the **other side** of a dual file display, using its current folder tab.

- Ctrl + Alt  
Open a **new tab** for it on the **other side**.

- Shift  
Open a **new window** for it.

my `alt` and `ctrl`+`alt`+`click` are not responding.

`ctrl` and `shift` combos are.

is there another place beside _Preferences / File Displays / Mouse_ where i might have toggled off the `alt` key?

nevermind, answered my own question...

if _`alt`+`click` to edit toolbar buttons_ is toggled on **Preferences / Toolbars / Options / Alt + click** to edit toolbar buttons, it seems to stop alt+click to folders & drop downs.

I can't un-toggle _`alt`+`click` to edit toolbar buttons_, I use that that shortcut everyday.

for some reason I always thought it was `alt`+`Right Click` which I do out of habit. didn't realize I could left click till just now.

~~**Could it become a option it use right click there as gain alt+click on folders?**~~

forget all I said about `alt`=`click` not working. I just figured out it was a AutoHotkey script that using `alt` getting in the way.

all is working as it should be in dopus when close that ahk app.
