Move tab to other pane?

[Ander]

Has anyone requested this yet? It'd be nice if you could do either or both:

_ Drag a tab to the other pane to move it there

_ Right-click a tab, then click "Move to other pane" (or however you'd choose to word it)

(Of course, maybe there's already a way to do this and I'm just thick.)

Dragging tabs around has been suggested, but implementing it may be very low on nikos' priority list.

For now we must be satisfied with
r-click on tab: Move left | Move right menu choice.
And the long sequence of
Tab, Ctrl+Insert, Alt+Ctrl+I, Tab, Ctrl+F4
will copy the top active pane Tab to a new Tab in the inactive pane and remove it from the active pane.

I use following code for moving tabs. Open notepad paste following code in it and save the file as movetab.vbs (make sure that file extension is .vbs and not .txt)

Code: Select all

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.AppActivate "xplorer²"
WshShell.SendKeys "^%{INSERT}"   ' Ctrl+Alt+Ins
WshShell.SendKeys "^i"	        ' Ctrl+I
WshShell.SendKeys "^{F4}"        ' Alt+F4
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"        ' Tab

now create a new user command. Give any name that you like and in the description add >"c:\movetab.vbs" or where ever you saved it. Now add this command to your toolbar.

I've created similar scripts for other commands which require multiple keystrokes and added them to toolbar, like toggling b/w list & detail view. Following code launches bookmark pane, which makes opening a bookmarked folder more easier.

Code: Select all

WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.AppActivate "xplorer²"
WshShell.SendKeys "%bm"    'alt b m

Refer MSDN for sendkey syntax and parameters.

Maybe it would be a good idea to Make a sticky thread & put links to
posts like these in that thread.
