Need for keyboard shortcuts for `ConEmu Here` #2331

Closed playgithub closed 3 years ago

playgithub commented 3 years ago

Now I must use a mouse to click ConEmu Here in the context menu to lauch ConEmu with a specific path. Need for keyboard shortcuts.

BTW, In Settings/Keys & Macro of cmder There is a global keyboard shortcut for Activate ConEmu and ‘CD’ to last (top in Z-order) Explorer window path: PasteExplorerPath(1,1), but it only works if there is at least one running ConEmu, it doesn't create a new ConEmu.

I didn't understand what do you want.

Of course, shortcuts are handled by conemu, no conemu instance - no shortcut processing.

I need to use keyboard instead of mouse to launch ConEmu with the current directory to be the current directory of the file explorer.

When ConEmu is integrated for the file explorer, in the context menu of file explorer, clicking ConEmu Here can create a new console. From a view of a user, keyboard shortcuts are more convenient.

You should address all questions to Windows Explorer, don't you? I don't see why you can't open the context menu in the Explorer window using keyboard.

When integrating ConEmu with Windows Exploerer, it needs register, I think a keyboard shortcut is possible when registering.

I don't see why you can't open the context menu in the Explorer window using keyboard.

Context menu works, I mean to do the work of ConEmu Here in context menu with keyboard shortcuts. For example, when Windows Exporer is in focus, press Ctrl+Alt+T can create a new console with the current directory.

It's impossible. I've already explained why. No ConEmu instance running - nobody can process global shortcuts.

There is a hack way, Windows Shortcut support global keyboard shortcuts, then an application can implement the functionality.

"Windows Shortcuts" are user choice, if you want, use them, but they are laggy and feature limited.

I would recommend AHK of you want to automate something.
