Version: DOpus 8.2.2.5 U.
I used to have this working but lost it after a machine change.
I'd like input focus to be placed in the "Location:" field whenever I create a new tab. I create new tabs only with so a solution tied to that hotkey would work for me but I don't think that's how I used to have it working.
Thanks for any help.
I can't think of a command that would do that, but I guess there must be one if you used to have it working.
It'd be easy to make a button which pops up a text box, or a choose-directory dialog, asking you where you want the new tab to go but as far as I can remember there isn't a command which open a new tab and then set the focus to the Location field.
You can set a hotkey that sets the focus to the Location field but that hotkey can't also open a new tab.
There's the Go PATHENTRY command, but that pops up a temporary field at the bottom of the lister, rather than going to the Location field in the toolbar. It also doesn't seem to work in conjunction with opening a new tab since the tab takes the focus and causes the pop-up field to go away.
Darn. Thanks for your reply. I'll keep chewing on it.
None of the other path 'field' specific args seem to work from a generic hotkey either... Mine location field runs Go PATHFIELDPATHTREE and I tried editing the pathbar.dop file to appened a NEWTAB arg... but it's ignored. Same thing with adding another raw tag to run a separate Go NEWTAB command...
It would be nice to have a generic command that will set focus to any given field...
I definitely had this working at one time. But I withdraw my claim that it used the "Location:" field. Consistent with something nudel mentioned, I believe it was indeed a special, temporary path entry field that was opened and input focus was placed in there.
I have it working now. Adding "Go PATHENTRY" to the <Ctrl + T> key definition did it.
Steps:
Go PATHENTRY
below the existing Function line that said
Go CURRENT NEWTAB
resulting in two lines:
Go CURRENT NEWTAB
Go PATHENTRY
Thanks for all the help, guys.
