Navigate folders without leaving Everything 1.5a

[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
open_folder_command2=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -nonewwindow -filter Parent -search "#num:quot:%1#num:quot: ")
open_path_command2=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -filter Parent -search "#num:quot:#num:pathpart:<%1>#num:quot: " -select "%1")
explore_path_command2=$openpath("%1")
custom_verb01=explore
custom_open_command01=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -filter Parent -search "#num:quot:%1#num:quot: ")
custom_open_command02=$exec("%ProgramFiles%\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe" -nonewwindow -filter Parent -search "#num:quot:#num:pathpart:<#num:pathpart:<%1>>#num:quot: " -select "$parent(%1)")
show_window_key=703
hotkey_explorer_path_search=1
operator_precedence=1
file_explore_path_keys=9151
file_open_path_keys=8639
file_custom_verb_1_keys=8973
file_custom_open_1_keys=8461
file_custom_open_2_keys=8742
search_edit_show_all_search_history_keys=4648
folders_up_one_dir_keys=

Add a macro: enter /define p=parent: in the search edit.

Add a filter:

• Name: Parent
• Search: p:$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
auto_double_quote_completion=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.

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 Ctrl+Enter (File | Custom Open 1) to open the folder in new window.
  • Press Ctrl+Alt+Enter (File | Custom Verb 1) to open the folder with Explorer.
• Opening a file path
  • Press Ctrl+/ to open the path in new window.
  • Press Ctrl+Alt+/ (File | Explore Path) to open the path with Explorer.
• Up one dir
  • Press Alt+Up (File | Custom Open 2) 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.
