Navigate folders without leaving Everything 1.5a

Post by extratype »

Opening a folder opens Explorer window by default. Why don't we open a folder in Everything? Let me push this idea further...

Settings:

Code: Select all

allow_multiple_windows=1
operator_precedence=1
show_window_key=703
open_folder_command2=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -nonewwindow -search "#num:quot:%1\#num:quot: ")
open_path_command2=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -filter Parent -search "#num:quot:#num:pathpart:<%1>\#num:quot: " -select "%1")
explore_path_command2=$openpath("%1")
home_filter=1
hotkey_explorer_path_search=1
jump_to_forward_slash_action=3
custom_verb01=explore
custom_open_command01=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -filter Parent -search "#num:quot:%1\#num:quot: ")
custom_open_command02=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -nonewwindow -newtab -filter Parent -search "#num:quot:%1\#num:quot: ")
custom_open_command03=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -nonewwindow -search "#num:quot:#num:pathpart:<%1>\#num:quot: " -select "%1")
custom_open_command04=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -nonewwindow -newtab -filter Parent -search "#num:quot:#num:pathpart:<%1>\#num:quot: " -select "%1")
custom_open_command05=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -nonewwindow -search "#num:quot:#num:pathpart:<#num:pathpart:<%1>>\#num:quot: " -select "$parent(%1)")
file_open_keys=8205
file_explore_path_keys=9663
file_open_path_keys=9407
file_run_as_keys=
file_custom_verb_1_keys=9485
file_custom_open_1_keys=9229
file_custom_open_2_keys=8461
file_custom_open_3_keys=8383
file_custom_open_4_keys=8639
file_custom_open_5_keys=8742
search_edit_show_all_search_history_keys=4648
folders_up_one_dir_keys=
Add a filter:
  • Name: Parent
  • Search: parent:#param:
  • Keyboard shortcut: Alt+\
Additional settings that may help:

Code: Select all

show_focus_on_search=1
path_hit_text_only=0
allow_path_ldrop=1
path_ellipsis=1
secondary_sort_folders_first=0
folders_first=1
file_close_tab_keys=343,27,371
  • allow_path_ldrop=1 setting enables dropping to the Path column.
  • Press Esc to close the current tab/window.
Add a macro: enter /define p=path: in the search edit.

Dark mode colors as in Explorer:

Code: Select all

dark_default_normal_background_color=#191919
dark_search_normal_background_color=#191919
dark_header_normal_background_color=#191919
dark_highlighted_background_color=#5e5e11
dark_highlighted_bold=0
dark_current_sort_background_color=#242424
dark_mouseover_current_sort_background_color=#191919
Usages:
  • Opening a folder
    • Press Enter to open the folder in this window.
    • Press Shift+Enter (File | Custom Open 1) to open the folder in new window.
    • Press Ctrl+Enter (File | Custom Open 2) to open the folder in new tab.
    • Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (File | Custom Verb 1) to open the folder with Explorer.
  • Opening a file path
    • Press / (File | Custom Open 3) to open the path in this window.
    • Press Shift+/ to open the path in new window.
    • Press Ctrl+/ (File | Custom Open 4) to open the path in new tab.
    • Press Ctrl+Shift+/ (File | Explore Path) to open the path with Explorer.
  • Up one dir
    • Press Alt+Up (File | Custom Open 5) to open the parent folder in this window.
    • Press Alt+Left instead if the current folder is empty.
  • Press Alt+\ (Search | Parent filter) to toggle the result list: folder view ↔ all descendants.
  • Press Alt+/ (Show window hotkey) while an Explorer window is activated, and then Alt+\ to toggle the result list.
Managing files and folders:
  • Pasting to the selected folder: paste inside that folder.
  • Pasting to the selected file: paste in its parent folder.
  • I suggest switch to Explorer to create a folder or file. FYI: there's "new folder with selection" context menu in TeraCopy.
To open explorer with mouse you need to add context menu items.
