Folder alias-like for tabs groups?

Help & Support
1

I kindly suggest if you guys can implement this feature, so it can be more easy to load tab groups (just by writing the alias name in the Filter Bar as example).

Just checking: are you aware of the command Go TABGROUPLIST? (Used in a button it generates a list of tab groups.)

You could use a script to make going to an alias load a tab group:

  • Use the OnBeforeFolderChange event to detect going to an alias (or rather a dummy folder that you make it point to) and tell Opus not to go to the folder but to instead open the tab group.

But, unless you're really tied to using the / key before the name, there are other easier options to quickly load a tab-group via the keyboard:

  • You could create a User-Defined Command which runs Go TABGROUPLOAD="My Tab Group". If the command is named "mycommand" you can then run the command by typing >mycommand, so the only real difference to an alias is you're typing a > instead of a /.

  • You could create hotkeys which run similar commands.

  • You could use @andersonnnunes's suggestion of Go TABGROUPLIST, putting it in a menu with an accelerator so you can quickly open the menu and select the group you want via the keyboard. (The command/list is also in the default toolbars/menus, but maybe a little buried if you want to use it a lot via the keyboard.)

With the user defined command I have to know the name of the tab group prior to open it. In a large list this can be troublesome for me. Unlike the alias and the / option, which shows suggestion as you type.
