[Feature request] Add to new Windows 11 context menu #16

Open tfiers opened 1 year ago

tfiers commented 1 year ago

I finally updated to Windows 11, it looks really slick.

Famously there's a new right-click context menu in Explorer:

To use PasteIntoFile (whic btw works perfectly fine for me on Win11), you have to do an extra click to open the old context menu ("Show more options").

(You can also press shift-F10 in Explorer, to open the old context menu directly. But that requires moving from the mouse to the keyboard and to the mouse again (to select the "Paste into file" entry)).

It does seem possible to customize the new context menu (see e.g. the "Open in Terminal" items in the screenshot). Maybe it's as simple as making new registry keys, like here.

I think they intensionally "cleaned up" the context menu, but there are already tools out there to bring back the "old" one 🤣
I don't have a Win11 machine to test, but I'll accept a PR if you want to implement it. It should probably be configurable by the user.

Yes, that's what I've done in the end, turning off the new context menu :p So I'm probably not gonna implement this.

If anyone's interested in the specific tool I used for that, it's part of the (very impressive) https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
