Hey All,

I'm at 9.4.1.2...

I found this link

https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/can-i-launch-alternative-menu-features-directly-from-the-regular-popup-menu/

which mentions:
  • Shift + Click:  Open in new window.
  • Control + Click: Copy a Favorite's Path or URL.
  • Shift + Control + Click: Edit a Favorite.

all of which work, but is there any way to use a custom short cut to invoke "Open the Containing Folder in a New Window" but WITHOUT going through the alternative menu?

Hi Stan,

No, you can't at this time. Only two keys can be used to alter the behavior of the main menu "click": Shift and Control. Alt And Win close the menu before you can click in it. So I have only these three combination available.

Shift + Click:  Open in new window.
Control + Click: Copy a Favorite's Path or URL.
Shift + Control + Click: Edit a Favorite.

I choose these features because they are probably the most used Alternative menu features. What I added to the wish list is:

- check if other modifiers can be used or if Right/Left-Shift and Right/Left-Control could be distinguished. If yes, we have much more possibilities.
- make the three combination configurable in Options.

Jean
